Work meant Eoin Cleary was not able to get himself to Thurles last weekend to support twin brother Conor and the rest of the Clare hurlers, the same as Conor was not present at Croke Park the Saturday previous to see Eoin and his Banner teammates record the county’s first-ever football championship victory at GAA HQ.

But given their level of interaction outside of matchdays, neither Cleary sibling needed to be sat in the Hogan or Kinnane Stand across recent weekends to feed off the other’s championship-winning energy.
