On a Clare day
It doesn’t seem like 11 years since that famous incident near the end of the Munster senior hurling semi-final win over Cork that kick-started their surge to glory in 1995. But it is.
In the dying moments of that match, with Clare trailing by a couple of points, McMahon suffered a game-ending collar-bone injury. But as the Banner had used their full complement of subs, McMahon couldn’t be replaced. So, rather than come off, he made the move to corner-forward, where it was hoped he would at least make a nuisance of himself and keep a Cork defender busy.
