Anthony Daly: Forget All-Irelands, Midleton in the Harty jangled the nerves most

The Munster senior colleges decider is down for a decision on Saturday. 

Harty Cup final match report in the Irish Examiner of March 30, 1987

I was lucky to have played in a lot of big games, to have captained Clare in two All-Ireland finals and six Munster finals, but I can honestly say that the most nervous I ever felt before a match was the 1987 Dr Harty Cup final against Midleton CBS.

The build-up was torturous because I was so ransacked with nerves but, looking back on it now, I had been building up to that game for six years. Yeah. Six years.
