We can stay the course, declares skipper McClearn

FORGET Cheltenham — 5-1, that’s what’s on offer in Galway this week on Loughrea in tomorrow’s All-Ireland Club Senior Hurling Final.

Ten minutes in the company of Loughrea captain Damien McClearn and you have just one option — go for it.

Talk to any of the Cheltenham experts and they’ll tell you, it’s not just about the pedigree, about looking good, about having the pace, the jumping ability; only those horses with the guts, the heart, the fighting spirit, survive up that hill, finish as champions.
