The 2023 M. Donnelly GAA All-Ireland Poc Fada Finals take place tomorrow Monday, August 7 starting 11.30am at their regular Annaverna mountain location in the Cooleys.
A total of 26 players (senior men, senior women, U-16 boys, U-16 girls) will return to the Annaverna mountain starting at 11.30am.
Kilkenny native and Clara club-man, Killian Phelan, caused something of an upset last year when he won the senior men’s Poc Fada at his very first attempt. He narrowly beat reigning champion Colin Ryan of Limerick into second place, and is looking forward to giving it his all again this year.
Phelan said “It was incredible to win it last year because it was neck and neck between myself and Colin Ryan the whole way around. The feeling when I knew I had won it last year was just unbelievable. I'm just hoping to give it a good go again this year."
The Poc Fada continues to be sponsored by Martin Donnelly who has been sponsoring the GAA Poc Fada for more than 25 years through his MD myclubshop.ie brand.
