O’Donnell’s return from the US a massive boost for the Banner

Shane O’Donnell has rejoined the Clare senior hurling panel following his return from Harvard University last week.

O’Donnell, the hat-trick hero in the Banner’s All-Ireland final replay victory over Cork in 2013, has been studying at the prestigious Ivy League college since September on a Fullbright Scholarship. He is pursuing a PhD in microbiology at University College Cork, where he gained a BSc in genetics.
