Thousands of Clare supporters gathered on Monday evening to celebrate their epic All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship final win against Cork.
The Banner fought for every inch and held on for a dramatic single-point win to end an 11-year wait for the Liam MacCarthy Cup.
Their post-match celebrations captured the enormity of their win and the festivities unsurprisingly continued through to their eagerly-awaited homecoming at Active Ennis Tim Smythe Park in the county.
Sportsfile photographers were there to capture the jubilant scenes.
