Clare manager Ger O’Connell has pointed to the leadership provided by the experienced players as the pivotal factor in his squad bouncing back from the precipice of another group stage Liberty Insurance All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship exit, to instead be preparing for a first quarter-final since 2014.

The Bannerwomen face a stiff challenge in the form of a Cork side that impressed many in defeat to All-Ireland champions Galway last Sunday and who will be playing on home turf at Páirc Uí Chaoimh (1pm).
