IT WAS the biggest celebration in Lissycasey GAA club history – the night they honoured the storied year that was 2007 when they swept away the major honours in Clare senior football.
Of course the high came when they annexed the senior football title for the first time, a success over Eire Og that was followed two weeks later a maiden victory in the Cusack Cup when they beat Doonbeg in a tem- pestuous encounter.
And there was more – 2007 also saw Lissycasey win the Minor B championship and Division 5 league, the medals for which were also pre- sented on the night by guest of hon- our, double All-Ireland winner with
Galway and Tuam Star, Jarlath Fal- lon. The 2006 O’Gorman Cup med- als were also presented.
Master of ceremonies on the night was former club secretary, Seamus Hayes, while each medal presenta- tion to members of the senior team took place to a backdrop of footage from Lissycasey’s march to the Jack Daly Cup.
Over 400 people attended the func- tion in The West County Hotel, with the county board represented by chairman Michael O’Neill, vice- chairman Johnny Hill and secretary Pat Fitzgearld.
A special presentation was made to former county board chairman, Michael McDonagh, while county final referee Michael Talty from Kil- murry Ibrickane was also honoured
with a presentation.
