Fr Bohan’s influence lives on

Having won this year’s All-Ireland senior and U21 hurling double, and with Sixmilebridge in Sunday’s Munster Club final, Clare hurling is on the crest of a wave.

On the sidelines too, however, Clare is proving hugely influential.

All three teams above are managed by one of their own (two in the case of the U21s, Gerry O’Connor and Donal Moloney joint managers, Davy Fitzgerald in charge of the seniors, John O’Meara over Sixmilebridge), but Clare’s influence goes beyond that.
