Lyons: attitude must be right

ANYBODY who has been closely watching Clare hurling evolve in the post-Loughnane era would have understood if Cyril Lyons had gone on the attack after his side’s impressive win over Tipperary in the opening round of the Guinness Munster championship.

However, quite apart from the consideration that this was only the first game, it wouldn't be in his nature to gloat.
