Do they sell Panadol tablets under the old stand in Thurles?

The first year I was manager of Clare, our opening championship match took place the week after the league final between Waterford and Galway. 

That morning, we trained in Cusack Park, ripped into each other before all heading onto the Gaelic Grounds together to watch our opponents. Waterford were hopeless. Galway destroyed them. Coming out afterwards, everyone was telling us we’d bate the tar out of them the following week. By Tuesday night, I knew we were in trouble.

If I was more experienced in my role I’d have had the players behind on the beach in Spanish Point that afternoon, and completely dislocated from what went on in Limerick. Waterford just were not tuned in. It wasn’t a stunt they pulled to lull us into a false sense of security but seven days later when they came out of the traps like crazed wolves, Waterford devoured us.
