Clare captain Pat O'Connor: ‘There is no such thing as a bad Cork team’

There is no such thing as a bad Cork hurling team, Clare captain Pat O’Connor has insisted.

The Banner travel to Páirc Uí Chaoimh this Sunday as the Munster SHC round-robin kicks into gear, and although Clare comfortably dismissed the Rebels during the league, O’Connor believes they’ll be an altogether different proposition this weekend.

Clare’s league win at Ennis in mid-February was their first competitive victory over Cork since the 2013 All-Ireland final replay. Cork had won the subsequent two league meetings between the counties, as well as their championship collisions in 2014, ‘15 and ‘17.
