NNIS’ ECONOMY was “rocking” on Sunday with hurling supporters from Clare and Limerick savouring the local hospitality. Levels of activity on the streets of the county town were on par with Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann according to local businesses. Hurling supporters from Clare and Limerick also drank the town dry with numerous pubs running out of cider and vodka as the fans
quenched their appetite following a pulsating draw. “If ever there was a good insight into Ennis town, this was surely it, it was really enjoyable and we had no trouble with any of the crowd. Everyone was brilliant, we were working but we really felt part of it,” owner of Patrick’s Bar, Cian Guilfoyle told The Clare Echo. “Town was buzzing, it was brilliant to see it and even better to see the Clare hurlers doing so well,” Gerry Connellan of Abbey Newsagents stated.
