Banner tyros bringing life to the team, says Donnellan

How often in the All-Ireland senior hurling championship have we seen four teenagers from the same side on the pitch?

It happened at Cusack Park, Ennis on Saturday evening with Tony Kelly, Seadna Morey, Aaron Cunningham and Colm Galvin, members of last year’s Clare minor team, seeing out the hectic closing minutes of Clare’s magnificent win over Dublin, which set up a date with Limerick on Saturday.

Get used to such an injection of youth, according to Clare centre-back and captain Patrick Donnellan. These tyros are here to stay.
