O’Dwyer eager to build on club success

IT’S been a tough week for Clare GAA fans. Last Sunday, dreams of a Munster SHC final slipped away, and for good measure, the intermediate team sank as well.

This weekend Clare’s footballers carry the banner in the Munster SFC semi-final against Cork in Ennis, and expectations were lowered dramatically after a less-than-convincing win over Waterford last time out.

Odran O’Dwyer is positive, however. A veteran of the International Rules series, O’Dwyer is Clare’s leader up front and sounds a defiant note ahead of the clash with the Rebels: “The mood is fine in the camp, we’ve prepared well. Coming up against Cork, it’s going to be a tough, tough game. We’re well aware of the task we have in front of us.
