All-Ireland club glory for St Thomas' and Glen at Croke Park

Éanna Burke delivers sensational winner in hurling showpiece while Conor Glass was the hero in football decider.

LAST UPDATE | 21 Jan 2024

ST THOMAS’ OVERCAME A questionable red card for James Regan at the start of the second half to overwhelm Kilkenny champions O’Loughlin Gaels 0-18 to 0-17 in a Croke Park downpour in the All-Ireland club hurling final.

With David Burke inspiring his side just 10 months after sustaining a cruciate injury, St Thomas’ looked as if they were coming off on all the wrong side of refereeing decisions at the start of the second half.

But they roared into action and were drove on from Burke in midfield, Conor Cooney who racked up seven points, and Éanna Burke who slotted over an incredible final point while falling backwards over the sideline.

O’Loughlin Gaels had one final chance to bring the game to extra-time with a long-range free, but Mark Bergin’s effort drifted wide of the near post.

It was a case of cometh the hour, cometh the man in the football final.

Conor Glass was the late goalscoring hero as Glen won their first-ever All-Ireland senior club championship title.

The Derry captain and former AFL star slammed home in the 58th minute as Malachy O’Rourke’s side avenged for last year’s heartbreaking defeat to Kilmacud Crokes.

Glass’s goal levelled it at 2-8 to 1-11, but there was plenty more drama to unfold down the home straight at Croke Park.

    A mighty man, that Conor Cooney.
    Good with the hurl, familiar with a pint in the paw, the ladies are mad about him and very handy in the bog as the bit of sweetner on top.
