Time for quarter-finalists to heed Corinthians and show championship ambition

When St Paul wasn’t writing letters or travelling to Damascus or being struck temporarily blind or undergoing conversions or generally being a misogynistic old sod, he occasionally dispensed a nugget of good advice.

The one to his old chums the Corinthians, for instance. “Be ambitious for the higher gifts.”

Would that Galway and Clare had respectively heeded his advice earlier this month. They didn’t, but we’ll forgive them this once. Would that Galway and Clare heed his advice tomorrow. Fail to do so and their own fans won’t forgive them.
