Cleary had the upper hand on the convict in one on one battles today, he caught a lovely one out on the wing early in the first half. Hayes might have finished Flanagan
I drove back to Dublin after attending the match. Unlike you who is giving a live running whinge on here through all four of limericks games this championship
Thought out full backline were excellent today and all
won their individual battles. Flanagan did an amount of tidying second half and it was a fine performance from him.
The McCarthy selection completely backfired, WOD ate him first half and I think it took Taylor out the game, he was far more prominent second half in midfield. Kelly is something else, just a joy to watch.
Think both teams will be relatively happy with the game. Tough physical game where both full backlines were on top song both will have a number of players who will feel that they have more to offer.
What do Clare do next week?
Weâve seen plenty of times before how important momentum is, particularly to Clare. If you donât go full blooded into the Waterford game do you risk losing that a bit?
On the flip side that was hugely physical today. Clare will undoubtedly have a few sore bodies and you couldnât blame Lohan for looking to change things up.
