Clare SHC final: Sixmilebridge 0-20 O'Callaghan's Mills 0-12

A two-in-a-row wouldn't count for much in some counties but it's something of a badge of honour in Clare hurling circles and one that Sixmilebridge can now wear for the first time since 1993 after an ultimately comfortable defeat of O'Callaghan's Mills.
