Diarmuid O’Flynn speaks to David Forde, the Galway attacker charged with breaching Cork’s first line of defence.

ONE OF the finest hurling half-back lines of the last decade was the Liam Doyle, Seanie McMahon and Anthony Daly combination that backboned Clare to two All-Ireland titles.

Daly was also captain of those teams, is now manager of Clare, and recently, he made a statement to the effect that most top teams now have a massive half-back line. And it’s true. Look around.
