The term giving back is is often used as one of the strengths of people involved in GAA clubs and none more so than hurling legend in Sixmilebridge and Clare Seán Stack who is giving back in spades .....
Seán was ever present on the Clare teams of the 70s and 80s lining out in the half back line and getting just reward in 1981 with an All Star award. He won 7 Senior titles with the club including captain to our first in 1977 and our Centenary Championship in 1984 which was also our first Munster Club.

Each month, they highlight a selection of these inspiring moments for the wider Gaelic Games community to vote on, with a monthly winner being crowned, before culminating in an overall ”Moment of the Championship” award at the AIB Club Player Awards next year.
While I'm sure Sean will shy away from the recognition the nomination is a recognition for both him and his team of volunteers who handled the late venue change for Eire Og V Loughmore Castleiney game in Sixmilebridge last Sunday week.
