Inspirational captain Brennan believes Banner can bridge gap

MUNSTER SFC SEMI-FINAL:

As things stand the Clare captain is well known to all opposition players and management and rest assured Cork’s Conor Counihan and his backroom staff will have done their homework for the past couple of weeks on how to curb the influence of the big midfielder.

Brennan is unlikely to win any of the top team honours in the game. Even his club, Clondegad, is hardly a powerhouse in Clare senior football. But the notion of transferring to a more successful side is instantly dismissed.
