Loughrea Captain Ian Hanrahan ahead of the County Final

Loughrea will bid to bridge a gap of sixteen years on Sunday next when they take on St Thomas in the Brooks County Senior Hurling Final in Pearse Stadium (Throw In - 1.30pm).

The last time they won the County Cup was in 2006 when they beat Portumna by 1-13 to 0-15.

This year they remained unbeaten all through the group stage and disposed of Turloughmore in the Quarter-Final and Clarinbridge in the Semi-Final.
