Doyle urges caution as Clare bid to build on U21 success
However, former star and current selector Liam Doyle is keen to preach caution and last night warned that success in the top flight ‘won’t happen overnight’ despite the heroics of last season’s emerging talents.
A team-mate of new manager Ger O’Loughlin on the All-Ireland winning teams of 1995 and 1997 and now a selector (with Danny Chaplin), Doyle points out that there is an appreciation on the part of the players in the current squad that improving results in recent seasons represents a major challenge. The road to redemption started with an impressive win over Down in their NHL Division Two opener at Cusack Park on Sunday.
