David Tubridy was as surprised as anyone to learn he had entered the GAA record books at Cusack Park on Sunday.

The 1-8 kicked by the Clare footballer to secure the county’s place in the semi-finals of Division 2 took his overall League tally since joining the Banner set-up 14 years ago to 22-412 (478 points).
