Clare must box clever and hit moving targets

On the evening of the Clare-Wexford game two weeks ago, I left Cork and headed straight to Whitegate, the last outpost in east Clare, right on the Galway border.

The club were having a benefit night and anyone who was in Cork, and was just back, was in great form.

And many of those who hadn’t been in Cork, but had watched the match in a pub, were in even better form.
