O’Byrne Cup, Walsh Cup and other sundry pre season provincial tournaments

You left out the bit where the back slipped at the crucial time

yes he fell on his arse after he left Rodgers get out in front to catch it as he stayed ball watching. Dreadful defending

Slipping is dreadful defending? Ok

Slipped after he was beaten. Subbed at half time, i wonder why?

Lovely score from David Reidy there who has been very lively.

I think @anon76546466 was playing corner back

Both keepers getting away with loose hurling inside their small squares in the last couple of minutes.

Clare 1-16 Waterford 0-14 at the second water break.

Clare had a nice purple patch to push the lead out the first few minutes after half time. Don’t think there has been a score from play since, plenty of bad wides though.

Ozzie keeps the game alive with a lovely finish with 9 to go

1-20 to 1-16

Score of the game from Diarmuid Ryan who picks his man’s pocket and drives it over the bar from his own 65

Shane Meehan bundles in a goal after O’Brien made a decent save, all but over now you would think.

2-21 to 1-16 with 6 left

Clare 2-24 Waterford 1-22 full time

A fine crowd in Ennis by the looks of it.

Not a pile of space in the far stand.

Sluggish start but Limerick motoring now. Couple of great scores.

0-8 to 0-5 to Limerick at the first waterbreak. They should be more in front given their dominance in the middle third.

8,000 according to the report there on Radio 1.

Cathal Malone fires a goal chance over the bar after good work by Rodgers

8000 tickets were made available yeah. Sold out.

Aaron Fitzgerald might be glad of being on the receiving end of that tackle as he is probably going to be subbed otherwise as he has been very poor.

Clare have no answer to Hegarty so far

Limerick 0-17 Clare 0-9 at half time

Limerick full value for it, in full control. Some of the newer lads like Gough and Aaron Fitz really struggling for Clare at the back. The few lads who are likely to be starters like Cleary, Ryan, Malone and Rodgers the only ones making any headway

Limerick’s 5 to 12 axis nearly all on top. Coughlan and Connolly going well while Hegarty and WOD are bossing it
