There will be new Clare SHC winners crowned in 2021 after Eire Og dethroned holders Sixmilebridge.

The Townies laid down an early marker as David Reidy’s goal saw them open up a 1-6 to 0-3 lead at the opening water break.

The second quarter saw Mattie Shannon’s side stretch that lead further with Danny Russell’s placed balls and outstanding defensive displays from Ciaran Russell & Aaron Fitzgerald seeing them lead by 1-12 to 0-6 at HT.

In a game in which the champions never really got going, Eire Og continued to dominate. A goal from a Jamie Shanahan free did reduce the gap in the closing stages, but Shane O’Donnell capped a selfless performance as he rifled home late on to secure the 2-18 to 1-11 win.
