In the drawn 2018 All-Ireland semi-final against Galway at Croke Park, with Clare going blow for blow with the reigning champions coming down the stretch, Duggan took off towards the opposition goal, shipping tackles from four different players.

Having to play the ball but knowing he couldn’t take it in his hand again, he hopped it off his stick twice as he staggered to his right and as the ball sat up, he let fly and split the posts for the ultimate free-wheeling point. The score was greeted with celebration by Clare supporters but with awe by all.
