Limerick boss Allen considering his options after defeat

Limerick manager John Allen conceded that "the better team won" as he reflected on a disappointing All-Ireland SHC semi-final defeat to Munster rivals Clare yesterday.

The Shannonsiders slumped to a 1-22 to 0-18 loss at Croke Park some five weeks after they lit up the Championship summer when being crowned Munster champions amid jubilant scenes at their home ground.
