‘Off the cuff approach’ may be key for Clare v Cork

An “off the cuff” approach can steer Clare past Cork in Saturday’s sink-or-swim qualifier clash, according to two-time All-Ireland medal-winner Frank Lohan.

The former Clare hurler believes Davy Fitzgerald’s charges were too “rigid” when falling to Limerick in the Munster quarter-final and says the team would be best served by an orthodox set-up at Thurles this weekend.

David Reidy and Shane O’Donnell operated a two-man full-forward line in the defeat to Limerick, the pair managing a meagre 0-2 between them over the 70 minutes.
