Would Mark Scanlons performances in 1993 merit inclusion? Minor, U21 and Senior in the one year. If memory serves me right he was man of the match in 93 senior final.
I don't think so. He had a very good debut year, but didn't do enough subsequently to merit inclusion. As for the MOTM award, I think Mark was given the nod by the Offaly Topic, but Padraig Moran won the official award, scoring a spectacular soccer-style goal in the first half. I include Padraig here, as he was MOTM also in the 91 Final, but in the half back line.

Considering you were probably playing around this time i'll take your word but I was always under the impression that in 1991 J.J trained the team.
Was Ollie Daly manager?
As for 1993 I believe Ollie Daly started off in charge before a 'players revolt' banished him.
J.J Barrett took the reins but quit over the cancellation of a training session due to an underage match.
Noel Kelly became the final front man in the Paddy Dolan trained set up.
Can you 'Clara'ify?
Apologies for not replying here sooner. I'd love to tell you we were cosmopolitan enough in 1991 to have appointed a Coach/Trainer and Manager (Euro-Soccer Model), but we didn't. JJ moved on early in the campaign and Ollie Daly took control. He brought Clara to the Leinster Club Final, where they were narrowly beaten by Thomas Davis. In 1992, he led Clara again, but after a replayed first-round, they were beaten by a Mark Plunkett-Inspired Tullamore. From memory, Ollie Daly wasn't involved with Clara in 1993.
