Liscannor GAA - An introduction
Liscannor won a county title in 1940 but this team was a combined team from the North Clare area.
Liscannor Gaa Club was reformed in 1985 as a seperate entity after players from the area had played with The St Michaels team for a number of years.
Liscannor were immediately successful and were promoted to Intermediate ranks after winning the Junior title in their first year after reforming in 1985. Liscannor also won the league title in 1985. In fact the team were only beaten once in league and championship fare when losing to our near neighbours Doolin in a league game.
An intermediate title followed in 1988 but the effects of emigration and a dwindling population meant that Liscannor were to revert to the Intermediate grade after one year at Senior level.
Despite reaching a number of finals it would be 12 years later in 2000 before Liscannor returned to the Senior Grade.
We have since enjoyed our must successful era in the club with Senior league titles being won in 2000 and 2001 and 2006.
In 2002 we reached the Senior County final against Kilmurray Ibrickane after a great run of games through the gruoup stages and knockout phase.
Unfortunately we were to lose that final but the club remains competetive at Senior level having reached a number of Senior league and championship semi finals since 2002.
The strength of our club and depth of talented players can also be seen in how competetive our Junior team has been since it was set up by John Murphy in the late nineties.
A Mc Namara cup and a North Clare championship were won in 1998 and we have contested a number of league finals in the imterim. This team is a vital stepping stone for our juvenile players between underage football and Senior competitions. |
