Carmody fast forwards to May

WHEN the story of 2006 is being stitched together, April 9 won’t merit a mention, says Tony Carmody. May 28 is where the tale will begin.

Clare might have finished two points to the good against Cork on Sunday, but it was scant consolation for the All-Ireland semi-final defeat of last August and it will be meaningless when they clash in the Munster SHC late next month.

“May 28 is the main focus and winning (on Sunday) has no bearing on that game,” said the Inagh attacker, named Vodafone hurler of the month for March.
