On 7 August, he won his second successive Munster Championship medal after scoring a goal in Clare's 1-17 to 2-10 defeat of Tipperary in the final.[8] On 14 September, Duggan won his second successive All-Ireland medal, in spite of being held scoreless, following Clare's 2-28 to 0-12 defeat of Antrim in the final.[9]
