What a Year for the Banner County

Well, it seems that County Clare rally is coming up 'Trumps' this year. A sale has been agreed for the Lodge at Doonbeg and Doonbeg Golf Resort. And to none other than the mighty Trump Organisation! Here's a link to a recent article by the Clare people going into the sale itself in more detail.

Following the sale, we thought we would have a little recap on some other good news stories that took place during the past few months...

First, we won the All Ireland Hurling Final (following an incredible replay) after a lengthy 16 year wait. The celebrations are still taking place and the Liam McCarthy cup has now seen more of the world than Google Maps.

Then, a Clare man won the famous Dublin City Marathon . Sean Hehir crossed the line in 2:18:19 as the first Irishman to win in 20 years. And funnily enough, he crossed the line only 53 seconds ahead of fellow Irish runner Joe Sweeney, who was running his first ever marathon!

And last but not least, Diarmaid Nash of County Clare has been winning Handball tournaments and titles left, right and center this past year. He is the current Men's Irish Seniors National Champion and the 23 & Under World Champion. Kind of a big deal I'd say!


And to top it all off... It's snowing today. Well I personally think that's good news!
