Kilkenny may have taken the two points against rivals Cork in dramatic style at Nowlan Park last Sunday but pride of place still has to go to O'Loughlin Gaels on reaching their first All-Ireland club final. Their hard fought victory over Loughgiel Shamrocks of Antrim at Parnell Park last Saturday now offers them a tilt a club hurling's highest honour.

A club’s season can turn on a small thing. Clarinbridge were close to crashing out of the Galway county championship in the group stages last summer. It took a late free from Mark Kerins to snatch a draw off Beagh in their last group game, and without that score, they would not have even qualified, having lost their first two games to Kinvara and Portumna.

Ballyhale Shamrocks are hoping St Patrick’s Day will be a lucky one for them as they face Portumna of Galway in Croke Park on March 17.

Winning one club All-Ireland title is tough. They are not easy to win. If they were, everyone would do so, which makes Portumna’s quest for an unprecedented three-in-a-row all the more remarkable.

Portumna 5-11

The Shamrocks won’t be shining on St Patrick’s Day after they were beaten by a superior Portumna side.
