The Banner is raised: Clare are All-Ireland Champions for the first time in 11 years after an exciting, exhilarating All-Ireland Final with a final score of 3-29 to 1-34 against Cork.
Both teams were level 14 times over almost 100 minutes in a thrilling, fast-paced game with just one point separating them at the final whistle.
“‘In Clare, hurling is like a religion and Brian Lohan is like our God’: Tony Kelly and the Clare support salute Brian Lohan, who now has an All-Ireland victory as a manager to go with the two he won as a player,” The Sunday Game reported.

In Clare, bonfires are lit and there’ll be no cows milked for a week or two – and Brian Lohan will be king, along with a team of champions.
19 minutes that shook the foundations of Croke Park and shocked the hurling world. @GaaClare's Shane O'Donnell bagged an historic hat-trick 11 years ago, as the Banner beat the Rebels in an All-Ireland hurling final replay for the ages!
