Phoney War or Cold War? A bit of both, really.

It’s not that Clare’s opening salvo in this year’s National League was a box-ticking exercise, but as soon as the final whistle sounded to signal this facile 16-point victory it’s safe to say that everyone of a saffron and blue hue was moving towards next Sunday’s mouth-watering clash with Wexford.

It was no surprise that new Clare hurling boss, Brian Lohan, picked a player in his own likeness as captain for the year ahead. John Conlon may inhabit a different end of the field than the Banner legend did during his playing days, but the differences between the two end there.

Kiely is looking towards the end of January as much as next weekend’s Munster League final against Cork.

It might be very early in the hurling year for markers to be plunged into forgiving soft ground, while, if they are, any notion that they could be a barometer for how the season might unfold is foolhardy.

Tipperary selector Darragh Egan has said it will be even more difficult for the Premier County to emerge from the Munster round-robin in 2020 as Clare, Cork, and Waterford will each get “a bounce” from their new manager.

Clare hurler David Reidy had a rather robust — certainly, unorthodox — first encounter with new Banner manager Brian Lohan.
