Cork’s only hope is to make it a battle
It was the spring of hope it was the winter of despair” wrote Charles Dickens in A Tale of Two Cities. It’s a quote that could be applied to Clare and Cork in the present circumstances.
Clare approach tomorrow’s game on the back of a solid league campaign and a satisfactory win over Waterford in the championship. With a young, athletic, skilful team they are hungry to build on their recent U21 All-Ireland success. Opponents Cork have lost three times to the Banner this season, were relegated from the league top flight and are minus the services of captain Patrick Cronin, Lorcán McLoughlin and Paudie O’Sullivan.
