At 34-years of age, Eddie McCloskey has won five Antrim Senior Hurling Championships, four Ulster club titles and an All-Ireland Club Championship back in 2012.
The last of those county titles came back in 2016 and Loughgiel have slipped behind North Antrim rivals Dunloy and Cushendall in recent years.
Yet, the Shamrocks never lose belief that the Volunteer Cup will make its way back to their village, regardless of how their season is progressing. That’s just how it is in Loughgiel according to McCloskey.
