Young Kilkenny hurler Jason Cleere has collected a staggering four All-Irelands inside twelve months.

Centre half back Cleere delivered a Man of the Match display for St Kieran's College as they defeated Thurles CBS in the All-Ireland senior hurling colleges championship final last Saturday and he also featured on the Kieran's team that got the better of Kilkenny CBS in the 2014 All-Ireland decider.

In between, he won an All-Ireland minor title with Kilkenny in September and returned to Croke Park with Bennettsbridge in February to claim the All-Ireland junior club hurling championship crown!

"Nothing beats the feeling of winning," Cleere told The Kilkenny People - and he should know! "I have been hurling for virtually three seasons non-stop but you don't get tired when you are winning. You keep driving on looking for more.

"The game couldn't have given me more during the last year. In all cases, hard work was the secret to the success."
