Clare Hurlers Celebrate Munster Final Win, Ireland 1997 

Clare team and supporters enjoy celebrations after long awaited Munster Hurling Final win over Tipperary.
The Usual Place pub on Market Street in Ennis was packed as supporters watched a video of yesterday’s All-Ireland Munster Senior Hurling final which saw Clare beat Tipperary 1-18 to 0-18.
Player Ger ‘Sparrow’ O’Loughlin is confident that the Banner County team will go from strength to strength,
We’ve set a trend...and we’ll continue to beat them for as long as we can.
This was Clare’s first win against Tipperary in a Munster final since 1899. Goalkeeper Davy Fitzgerald sums up the atmosphere in The Usual Place,
’Tis electrifying...we probably have the best supporters in the land.
