Clare produced their best performance in a number of years before fading very late on against Cork in the Liberty Insurance All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship quarter-final at Páirc Uí Chaoimh last Saturday and Alannah Ryan is already looking forward to next season.

Ryan, who excelled in defence, has been cognisant of the privilege of being allowed to play in the current environment. And the Kilkishen player is optimistic about the future for Clare given the progress they have showed in a short period of time.
