The opening round of this year's TUS Clare Senior Hurling Championship provided plenty of drama across the weekend. Kilmaley came back from the dead to snatch a one point victory against Ballyea, while newly promoted Wolfe Tones shared the spoils with reigning champions Feakle in Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chiosóg. Clonlara laid down an early marker in the first game of the 2025 championship as they defeated 2024 beaten finalists Sixmilebridge by a point in their Group 1 encounter on Friday evening. The Bridge thought they'd secured a draw with an Alex Morey free in added time but a placed ball of their own from Cathal O'Connell claimed a 1-19 to 1-18 win for 2023 Canon Hamilton winners. The team that were defeated on that occasion are top of Group 1 after the opening weekend however, as Crusheen opened their account with a five point win over Doora/Barefield on a score of 23 points to 1-15. Inagh-Kilnamona sit atop Group 2 following the opening weekend of action after a convincing win over Corofin. The combo notched an impressive 31 points in their 13 point victory in Gurteen. Meanwhile, Clooney-Quin occupy second spot after Darragh McNamara raided for a late goal to defeat Broadford 1-18 to 2-12. Group 3 saw the meeting of the reigning Senior and Intermediate champions as Feakle and Wolfe Tones played out a 19 points to 1-16 draw. Darragh Lohan netted a second half penalty for the Shannon side early in the second half, while the county champions might have to contend with the loss of keeper Eibhear Quilligan who went off in the first half. Feakle boss Ger Conway says his side did well to hold onto a point given the number of injuries in his squad. In the other game in that group a red card for Luca Cleary didn't deter Éire Óg as they downed Newmarket on Fergus in Clarecastle. Darren O'Brien and Marco Cleary raised second half green flags en route to a 2-24 to 1-19 win. Kilmaley produced a remarkable comeback as they defeated Ballyea in Group 4. Two stunning Tony Kelly goals in the opening period looked to have given his side an insurmountable eleven point half time lead. However, spurred on by goals from Tommy Barry and Conor Cleary, Kilmaley gradually reeled in the 2022 champions before a Mikey O'Malley free sealed the most unlikely of comebacks. Kilmaley boss Brian Culbert says his sides's first 30 minutes left a lot to be desired and credited the victory to an increase in intensity. Cratloe, however, will head into the next round in pole position. They got the better of Scariff 1-24 to 1-21 in a thrilling encounter in Broadford. In the Premier Intermediate championship O'Callaghan's Mills and Tubber recorded wins in Group 1, while Clarecastle lead the way in Group 2 after they defeated Whitegate, while Ruan and Sixmilebridge played out a draw.
If you've been out and about around Clare this summer, you might have noticed a very handy little shuttle bus making its way through some of the county's most scenic and historic spots. It's called the Burren and Cliffs of Moher Explorer Shuttle Bus, and it's been ferrying both tourists and locals around to and from the Cliffs of Moher, and around to places like Corofin, Kilfenora, Lisdoonvarna, Ballyvaughan and Miltown Malbay — giving people a chance to explore without needing a car. It's all part of a campaign to promote sustainable travel in the Burren Geopark, support local businesses, and help us all slow down and soak up what's on our doorstep. To tell us a bit more about how it all works, and why it's not just for visitors, Colum McGrath sat down with Siobhán King — she's the Projects Officer for County Clare with Fáilte Ireland.

It's claimed some communities in North Clare have been "bypassed" by tourism initiatives. Lisdoonvarna Fine Gael Councillor Joe Garrihy has asked Clare Tourism and Fáilte Ireland to work with towns and villages across the region to develop a "local area business and community training program" for each. It follows the establishment of the Burren and Cliffs Explorer shuttle bus in May which serves areas like Ballyvaughan, Corofin, Carran, Kilfenora, Doolin, Liscannor, Lahinch, Lisdoonvarna and Miltown Malbay. Councillor Garrihy believes smaller areas need a helping in hand in enhancing their tourism offering.
