Over the past number of weeks, we’ve been asking you to vote for Clare’s greatest ever (individual) sporting moment.
We started off with 16 iconic moments in the Banner’s sporting history, and in your thousands, you whittled it down to two.
The final decider was between two Anthony’s- Anthony Daly’s winning speech after the 1995 Senior Hurling All-Ireland and Anthony (Axel) Foley lifting the Heineken Cup in 2006.
This morning in a very special Morning Focus, we were proud to announce that the winner of Clare’s Greatest Ever Sporting Moment was indeed Axel Foley lifting the Heineken Cup in 2006!
To pay tribute to the late Anthony Foley and to put into context what this moment meant to him, Gavin Grace spoke to Brendan Foley, Anthony’s father, Rosie Foley, Anthony’s sister, childhood friends Enda Keane and Donnacha McNamara and teammates Marcus Horan and Barry Murphy.
Clare’s Greatest Ever Sporting Moment is sponsored by Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board and Anthony’s family will receive a specially crafted piece of Galway crystal to mark the occasion.
