Cats in full flow as Clare crumble
Brilliant sunshine, perfect hurling conditions, two unbeaten teams, this repeat of last September's All-Ireland final pairing would tell us exactly how far Clare have progressed since then, how keen the appetite remains down Kilkenny way.
Both questions answered, but not to the satisfaction of Lyons. "Our hurling today would have reflected what would have been concerning us; we're still not good enough. Even though we won our last three matches, we were lucky to win the last one (against Galway). The second-half today showed we still have a huge amount of work to do".
