Final step in Clare recovery?

PREVIEW: Clare v Wexford

It’s a conundrum, one in which even Clare captain Brian O’Connell was in two minds about this week, in advance of tomorrow’s NHL Division Two final against Wexford in Thurles.

He reasoned: “If you look at our results in Division Two this year, we only barely scraped over a few teams, by only a point or two, so maybe the suggestion of a 10-team top division is being unfair to them. I think they’re coming on very well. There was a great crowd for our game against Carlow, in Carlow on a fine day with a great atmosphere.
