Senior experience shows for Clare

The involvement of 14 of Clare’s Munster U21-winning panel with the county’s senior set-up was the key factor in last night’s success, claimed joint-manager Donal Moloney.

Tony Kelly, Colm Galvin, and Seadna Morey — regulars on Davy Fitzgerald’s outfit — were among the standout performers in the county’s latest provincial success and Moloney pointed out just how beneficial it is that the majority of the squad are doubling up.

“It is great to have these lads in with the seniors. We work hand-in-hand with the senior management, there is great cooperation. Our job is to get lads ready for senior and send them on. 14 of these guys are on the senior panel and that has been a massive help to us. We train separately, but we managed it.
