Clare mojo has returned, declares former star Jamesie O’Connor

Clare hurling legend Jamesie O’Connor says the Bannermen have “rediscovered their mojo” and will still be involved in the championship come August even if victory is not secured against Waterford on Sunday.

Having failed to make an impression in either 2014 or last year, O’Connor believes the pressure is off Davy Fitzgerald’s side heading into their Munster semi-final meeting with Waterford in the wake of their promotion from Division 1B and outright league success.

The two-time All-Ireland medal-winner is still keen to see a Clare victory so to correct, if nothing else, the county’s “deplorable” record in Munster – Clare have managed to win only five games in Munster since their last provincial title success back in 1998 and have won only one Munster championship fixture in the past eight years.
