Ballyea will compete in the All-Ireland club senior hurling final on St Patrick’s Day after they survived a late fightback from St Thomas’ on Saturday evening.
Tony Kelly may be the household name in the Ballyea senior hurling team but one teammate has also been doing his bit when it comes to stealing the headlines for the men in Black and Amber.
In the space of two weeks Ballyea have won their first Clare SHC and qualified for their first Munster Final, it’s been a fortnight to remember in the club’s eighty two year history and their greatest.
