Captain Cooney steers Éire Óg to defence of Clare title 

It wasn’t pretty, but it was effective as the champions showed much more ambition than opponents Ennistymon to make up for disappointment of losing last week’s hurling final

Captain Gavin Cooney showed the way throughout, with his haul of 0-6.

Clare SFC Final: Éire Óg 0-9 Ennistymon 0-6 

It will be another winter of content for Éire Óg’s footballers as they became the first team from the county capital to successfully defend the senior title for nearly 75 years by easing to a three-point win before 4,608 at Clare headquarters.
