Shane O’Donnell: Clare overdue return trip to Croke Park

Shane O’Donnell was in Croke Park yesterday to help the GAA launch the Replay project, which captures 3D motion-picture data of the skills of football and hurling.

It was a replay of a different kind which launched O’Donnell to national prominence in 2013, as he scored three goals in Clare’s All-Ireland final replay defeat of Cork. That was the last time he and his county played at headquarters, and righting that is the next mission in the wake of another replay win, against Waterford in the league decider in Thurles last Sunday.

“Yeah, it has been a while,” O’Donnell says.
