Clare must take game to Tribesmen, says Lynch

WHILE he will only be a spectator for next weekend’s mouth-watering qualifier against Galway, Clare’s firebrand midfielder Colin Lynch believes his team’s fate lies in their own hands as they try to erase Sunday’s disappointment.

Lynch, dismissed in the Cork clash for an off-the-ball incident with Mickey O’Connell, will be a gaping absence in the Banner challenge.

Last year, when Clare announced their revival to the country against Galway in Croke Park, Lynch was the main string-puller, nailing the last-minute point that ensured victory.
