Clare's Adam Hogan has enjoyed one of the most fruitful 12 months a hurler could imagine all the way from the Harty Cup to All-Ireland glory.
Hogan capped off what has been an outstanding year when he starred for Feakle yesterday as they ended their 36-year wait for county glory with an emphatic seven-point win over Sixmilebridge in the Clare Senior Hurling Championship.
On a day when Feakle claimed their first-ever Clare Senior Hurling Championship, Hogan's boyhood club delivered a controlled and emphatic win over their opposition, with the final whistle coming at least twenty minutes after Feakle had wrapped up the affair.
The County Final medal that Hogan left Cusack Park with only adds to what must be one of the fastest-filling mantlepieces in the county after a phenomenal twelve months that has seen the 21-year-old win all but one trophy available to him.
On top of the host of medals Hogan has brought home with him, the Feakle man is also in the running for two awards at Friday night's PWC All-Stars after he received nominations for Young Hurler of the Year and for an All-Star itself.

Adam Hogan records crazily successful twelve months
Not only did Hogan claim a Senior County title with Feakle, but the 21-year-old also appeared in Feakle and Killanena's amalgamated U21 side, who like their senior counterparts claimed the Clare U21A Hurling Championship.
In the inter-county season, Hogan was an instrumental member of Brian Lohan's Clare team who stormed to July's All-Ireland final where they disposed of Cork with a one-point win in extra-time.

The Celtic Cross Hogan claimed atop the Hogan Stand only added to the National League title he had won months earlier when he delivered a man-of-the-match performance in the final.
Finally, outside of the ever-important club and county, Adam Hogan enjoyed a successful Fitzgibbon Cup with Mary I, where he both lifted the trophy and earned a place on the team of the tournament.

If you add this year's awards to Adam Hogan's notoriously difficult Harty Cup win in 2022, it's hard to imagine many Clare men who've reached the heights he has at such a young age.
