Actually, it has to be draw. If memory serves me correct, the replay wasn’t televised.

Was it that many ??

Toothless Clare roaster there in the crowd.

Waterford Championship wins were scarce back then. Between 1983 and 1998, think it was just two, both replayed wins - one over Cork in 1989 semi final and Clare in 1992 quarter final.

Con Houlihan there in the crowd.

I spotted him in Kilkenny about a year ago. He’s a big unit now.

Wasn’t that also the match that Daly was told that Clare should stick to traditional music?
