CLARE CAPTAIN TONY Kelly has been named man of the match in the Banner’s epic All-Ireland hurling final win over Cork.
The Ballyea wizard scored one of the great All-Ireland final goals with a sublime piece of stickwork and finish in the 52nd minute.
Kelly finished with a magical 1-4, including the point which looked set to be Clare’s winner at the end of normal time, followed by three more points at crucial moments in extra time.
