Frank Lohan

Frank Lohan, born in 1974 in Shannon, County Clare, is an Irish hurler who played for the Clare senior inter-county team from 1995 until his retirement in 2008 and plays club hurling with his adopted club Oranmore/Maree on the outskirts of Galway city. He won his first Munster Senior Hurling Championship in 1995, the year Clare also won the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, the county's first All-Ireland senior win since 1914, and Clare won both competitions again in 1997. His performances were recognised with an All-Star award at corner-back in 1999. He was Clare's starting number 4 for more than a decade, playing in the full-back line alongside his brother Brian Lohan, and captained Clare in 2007, as his father Gus and brother Brian had done before him. He retired as the most capped outfield player in Clare hurling history, and he also played Gaelic football for Clare.
