Every now and then someone tells us one of those stories about a hurler that we cannot believe the first time round. It's usually a tale involving some kind of remarkable feat which sounds too far fetched and way too difficult to achieve, even for the countries best club hurlers.

Well we have all been lucky to see these heroics with our own eyes for the last 21 years since the Rossroe Rebel made his Senior Debut for the Bridge. Some extraordinary feats include:

- Making your intercounty start with Clare before starting on your clubs senior team

- Playing close to a Century of Senior Championship games for your Club

- Scoring in every Senior Club Championship Club game you have played

- Winning 5 County Championships, 2 Munster Clubs & 1 All Ireland Club

- Winning multiple Man of the Match Awards throughout your career.

- Playing along side lads who were not born when he made his Senior debut

- At the age of 39, in your 21st season in your 8th County final winning man of the match with as near to perfect performance as witnessed in a battle for Canon Hamilton. 

 

If you have gotten this far you may think this is a press release around Gillys retirement but he has signed a 4 year extension on his contract to bring him to 25 years to try and catch Flan Quilligan in the role of honour!

Instead we are asking you to vote for Gilly in the Joe.ie Best Club Hurling team of all time where he has been nominated in the Full Forward line. Click here to cast your vote
