Frustrated Patrick O'Connor says Clare must scratch Munster itch

Patrick O’Connor admits that Clare’s recent Munster championship record is unacceptable — and “irks” the current group.

The 2013 All-Ireland winner, who hopes to return from injury in April, says he would harbour “regret” if he doesn’t get to experience big days in the province before the end of his inter-county career.

Teammate and 2013 Hurler of the Year Tony Kelly recently suggested scrapping the Munster championship and introducing a ‘Super 8’ or ‘Super 10’ format instead.
