Clare All-Ireland Hurling Champions visited some of their proudest and most passionate fans at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Ennis last week.

The Banner boys were met with tears of joy on each of the five units of the hospital, as residents congratulated them on their victory against the Rebel county in this year’s all Ireland clash.

One resident, Nora Griffin from Kilmihil age 104, held the Liam MacCarthy Cup whilst player Eamonn Foudy remarked that the cup itself was only 101 years old!

Sisters, Philomena McCarthy and Mai Keating, and husband and wife, Michael and Monica O'Loughlin were also photographed with the cup,  congratulating players Cian Broderick and Eamonn Foudy and kitman & staff member, Liam Devitt.

Regina Jordan, Director of Nursing at St. Joseph’s Hospital said “We were absolutely thrilled to welcome our All-Ireland Champion hurlers into St. Joseph’s Hospital."

"It meant the world to many of our residents to meet and congratulate the lads and we thank them for all the excitement they’ve provided us this season.

"It was a day we won’t stop talking about or celebrating for a long time. Thank you so much on behalf of myself, the staff and our residents to the lads and the Clare County Board for making the visit possible”.
