Advantage Clare for replay

THE advantage is with Clare ahead of Saturday’s All-Ireland SHC quarter-final replay with All-Ireland champions Kilkenny, according to Banner selector Fr Harry Bohan.

Though the Munster men are still in the championship thanks to a late Jamesie O’Connor equaliser, the trip to Thurles holds no fears for Fr Bohan. Indeed he is relishing the chance to dethrone the Cats and advance to an All-Ireland semi-final against their nemesis, Waterford.

“We felt going to Dublin that we could beat Kilkenny. Now we know we can,” Fr Bohan said.
