'A tremendous group of players': Brian Lohan hails his All-Ireland winning Clare squad
Crowd of 40,000 in Ennis on Monday night for homecoming
Clare manager Brian Lohan has hailed his All-Ireland winning team as an "absolutely tremendous group of players".
"Our players work so hard, they're never beaten, they're so resiliant, just a reflection of us as Clare people, we're tough people," the Shannon man told the 40,000 strong crowd who gathered for the Banner's triumphant homecoming in Ennis.
"We get things done and we win," he said, to massive cheers from the crowd at the Active Ennis Tim Smythe Park on Monday night, July 22.
He commended the work put in by the Clare panel, telling guest MC Marty Morrisey that they "live their lives purely to get better at this game, and to represent the county as well as they can."
An All-Ireland winning player in his own right, Brian also praised his "really professional" backroom team, who "give great guidance to our players."
He also gave "massive thanks" to the crowd and to all Clare supporters: "Our players really appreciate it, the support ye have given us all year, and really appreciated it yesterday [Sunday] when we were really under the cosh, and you guys came up trumps for us again."
