Speakers on the night will include:

Speakers on the night will include the great Marty Morrisey, a proud Clare man, Gaa man, Sports commentator and Tv presenter. Marty has a long association with Clare Gaa and indeed the Mullagh man ploughed his trade initially commentating on Gaa matches all around Clare but he is now more likely to be heard presenting and ccommentating on All Ireland finals or Olympic games events. 

Also speaking on the night will be the former National hurling director Paudie Butler who at one stage was christened the 'hurling evangelist'. Anyone that has attended a coaching course given by Paudie or heard him speak will understand why that name was chosen for him. The Tipperary man hails from the famous Drom Inch club and played with the Tipperary senior team. Paudie also managed the Tipperary minors and Laois Senior hurling teams in the late 90s and early 00s.

Former Clare camogie star Deirdre Murphy who was once named as the Clare County Camogie Player of the Decade also worked for 6 years for the Camogie Association as the Munster Development Coordinator and she is currently the GAA Development Officer in University Limerick. The Clooney Quin native has been involved in every facet of camogie club life from helping to set up clubs to winning county finals and Captaining Clare to win the 2008 Junior All Ireland in Croke Park and winning the 2012 Munster Senior Final v Cork.

Davy Fitzgerald needs no introduction. The Sixmilebridge man has done it all with club and county and in 3 magical years, 1995, 1996 and 1997 he won the All Irealnd club with Sixmilebridge and 2 All Irelands with Clare. To top all that off, Davy also managed Clare to another All ireland in 2013 and aNational Hurling Leage in 2016. Davy will be familiar to Rte viewers for another reason also as he is regularly seen on Tv participating in irelands Fittest Family.
