Clare’s ability to rack up points could swing it

A rare end-of-season bonus for the GAA with Croke Park again a sell-out for the second year in a row for the first time since 1959. A rare bonus also for hurling fans.

I know this is the sixth meeting of Cork and Clare this year but I could watch these two teams go at it every weekend.

They’re both attack-minded, have a premium on skill and pace, superb first-touch a prerequisite to earn a place on either team and they play with purpose, each side coached to use the ball intelligently.
