Anthony Daly: Brick by brick. Step by step. Renovation projects are picking up pace

Clare weren't brilliant against Wexford, but it was much better than what we saw in Cork last weekend. Brick by brick. Step by step.

The highlight of the day for Clare yesterday was the warm-up, or to be more precise, the pre-warm-up.

Before the teams even came out, Tony Kelly was going through a rehab routine in the lashing rain, which was mostly a series of sprints. Then when the team started warming up, TK was stuck in the middle of it.
