Joe McSwiney’s joy as treasure chest gathers more silverware

Silverware seems to follow Joe McSwiney everywhere he goes, the latest accolade an Ulster Bank League medal with his new club Lansdowne, who beat Clontarf (18-17) in Saturday’s final at the Aviva Stadium.

McSwiney had barely time to settle into a new job in the engineering sector and into a new club than he was celebrating.

Last year, with Cork Constitution, he pocketed Munster and Bateman Cup (All-Ireland) medals. That was just to go with another double the previous year and an Ulster Bank League medal in his first year with the Temple Hill outfit.
