Limerick contaminated by 1B virus

Given my Clare loyalty and my Limerick connections to their underage Academy, I stole into Thurles yesterday like a thief in the night; head down, baseball cap pulled tightly down over my eyes, plain clothes, biro and notepad in my hand.

I just didn’t want to be listening to lads talking rot, after getting the early train! I don’t have any up-to-date Clare gear anyway. If I tried to pull on some of the old stuff, none of it would fit me.

It wasn’t an epic. It was highly tactical, as expected. There was no real fluency to the match. Nobody really stood out as exceptional bar the reignited Shane O’Donnell — wasn’t it lovely to see two other forwards near him?
