Maurice and Dan Shanahan were to the fore as their club Lismore pulled off two big wins in less than 48 hours at the weekend.

On Friday night, younger brother Maurice scored 2-8 and Dan bagged a brace of goals as Lismore celebrated their return to the senior ranks with a 5-19 to 1-7 victory over Dunhill in the Waterford IHC final in Fraher Field.

Lismore were back in action again yesterday in the Munster club IHC, and showing no signs of fatigue, they powered to a 2-20 to 1-12 victory over Bandon of Cork. Maurice bettered his county final tally with a haul of 2-10, while county selector Dan chipped in with 0-2.

"The county final win in Waterford was the most important thing at the start of the year because we wanted to go back up senior, but the lads decided on Friday night that they were going to give this everything that was in them," Lismore manager Dave Barry said.
