This site follows the "sleeping giant of Clare Hurling" Clooney-Quin on their journey to winning the Munster Intermediate Hurling Championship 2006. So tis a bit outdated. As I am German, I do not claim to know very much about the intricacies of this sport but I do consider myself to be a keen supporter anyhow! :)

16 December 2006: The Munster Final
After a fairly dodgy first half that saw some great confusion over the scoreboard and an early second half goal for the opponents, Clooney-Quin rose to the challenge and went on to beat Cork Champions Bishopstown by 3 points making them Munster Champions for the first time ever in the Clubs history. Roll on the All Ireland and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the players, managers and supporters of the "sleeping giant of Clare Hurling" Clooney-Quin! It is well deserved!



26 November 2006: Clooney-Quin v Clonea-Power
The road to the Munster final continues. Final Score 1-13 to 1-10



12 November 2006: The saga continues
Clooney-Quin are well on the way having just won against Eire-Og Annacarty with a final score of 3-15 to 1-11. Good match but very cold! Let's hope the best for the next one on Sunday, November 26th!


22 October 2006: Intermediate Hurling County Champions Clooney-Quin.
After 20 years of hard work and disappointment the cup has finally come back to Clooney-Quin. In a nail-bitingly exciting match in Cusack Park, Ennis on October 22nd, Clooney-Quin beat Killanena by 2 points. A (literally) last second goal by Killanena was prevented by Clooney-Quin goalie Damien "Tayto" O'Halloran...the final whistle blew and the place erupted in cheers for Clooney-Quin who won that cup the last time when some of today's panel were small enough to fit into it quite comfortably!
