Bohan in ‘Bridge corner as parish rivals square up

Fr Harry Bohan is 80 but you wouldn’t know it. Taking the call, he’s buzzing. He’s just left the new St Finnachta’s National School in Sixmilebridge, festooned in ‘Up The ’Bridge’ banners but not without the odd nod to Cratloe.

Clare county final fever has gripped the village and he is not immune. Three times he rings back with more information. In paying homage to those who have made the club what it is, like the good shepherd, the patron of Sixmilebridge GAA club and 14 years its parish priest doesn’t want to leave anybody out.
