Anthony Daly: Clare can feast on any natural Limerick slippage

If Clare are right and they find the performance they need, a win could completely alter the dynamic of this Munster championship.

AROUND the pub and around Clare this week, I found it hard to gauge the mood.

People were disappointed with the result against Tipperary but they were slow to condemn the players and management too. You’ll always have a share of supporters keen to slate all around them but I genuinely think that having the old enemy lurching around the corner with their swords cocked has shifted everyone’s focus forward, not backwards.
