Change needed, but Clare spot-on

How the hell did Antrim reach this All-Ireland final?

I’m sure that in Wexford, especially, but also in Kilkenny, they’ll be asking that question today — how did this Antrim team beat the Leinster champions? Because even from the first minutes, when there was little between themselves and Clare on the scoreboard, it was obvious who was going to win this All-Ireland final — the only question really was by how much.

Lopsided as was the game, however, we learned a few things about Clare. First, their attitude is spot-on. They were properly tuned in, paid Antrim the same respect they would have paid either Wexford or Kilkenny.
