It’s October 25. Clare and Limerick are in Thurles for their Munster SHC first round game to begin the Championship in earnest.

RTÉ cameras are on site as are the various print, online and radio members of the media, provincial and county officials and stewards. But other than them and the teams and management teams, there isn’t a sinner.
