I think Clare are under rated if anything.
Cork were excellent in first half, best I seen all year. Dublin totally dominated second half and would have won but for the sending off imho.
100 percent.
Clare were about 4 points the better team in that drawn final in 2013 but Cork kept hitting them with sucker punches. That Pa Cronin goal was very dramatic.
Time will tell, I expect them to make a final and get steamrolled by Limerick, but Kilkenny will test them severely.
The Cork and Clare lads are very confident.
How many points is steamrolled?
They are very parochial
We’re not in any final yet.
The memory of 2019 won’t allow us to look beyond the semi final.
Only a fool would write off the Carkies … outside of the great rivalry with KK in the noughties , for a certain generation they’re masters of sneaking in to win a sneaky all Ireland … 1990, 1999…nearly done it in 2013…
If the provincial finalists lose next weekend, as I expect, then will the semi-finals flip to Limerick-Wexford & Cork-Kilkenny to avoid repeat round robin games?
Correct.
Will they risk Tony Kelly or keep him right for the semi?
Keep going mate, I think there’s still life in it
Would you play him if he’s not right? They beat Waterford well without him
Clare’s main trouble is if they look like threatening Limerick, the Sunday Game panel will arrange a few more suspensions.
Ah they can’t do that in the middle of the match, yet.
They couldn’t do it after a match until last weekend.
A few weeks ago you and the Clare crowd were screaming about loose use of the hurley and demanding the GAA clamp down on it. Then when they do… ![]()
May as well use the money when we have it Flatty
