Noel Sheehy's hurling career spanned the escalation of the Clare-Tipp rivalry. Now, he lives on its major fault line.

The tenacious defender's 12 years of senior service began and ended with defeats to the Banner. In between, it yielded a pair of All-Irelands and All-Stars, plus five Munster Championships.
