Judgment day nears for Clare

Sunday’s Munster SHC semi-final against Limerick is the game Clare have “targeted all year”, says Banner co-manager Gerry O’Connor.

“The way I’d describe it, we’ve broken the season into three distinct phases. We’ve made no secret of that since the start of the year.

“Phase one was the Munster League, we were just basically getting on first-name terms with our panel. Phase two was the National League. Phase three [the championship] has been what we’ve targeted all year.
