Upperchurch hurler Luke Shanahan named on Minor Team of the Year

Young Upperchurch-Drombane hurler Luke Shanahan has been named on the Electric Ireland Minor Hurling Team of the Year for the 2020 season.

Luke has been named at wing-back in the selection, which celebrates the best players from a unique championship which only ended earlier this month.
