Hurling was always Shane Meehan’s number one sport, even if only by a short nose. So when Brian Lohan and Colm Collins were both knocking on the youngster's door, his decision wasn't long in the making.

The rising Clare star has a unique under-age CV. His personal awards haul in 2019 alone saw him named Munster minor footballer of the year, while county captain, and selected on the national minor hurling team of the year.
