Tactical questions top the agenda as hurling’s masterminds go scouting

Cork and Clare’s rivals will be keeping a close eye on events at Croke Park as they seek an edge for next year’s Championship

They’ll come from all over the country hoping for a stylish game but for those Cork and Clare folk attending, they’ll just hope for a win. Neutrals in the attendance, if there are any real neutrals present, come to savour the atmosphere and enjoy the occasion.

They will hope for a rip-roaring, skilful contest befitting of a game between the two best hurling teams in Ireland and hoping that the teams will carry on as they finished the last day.
