Clare defender John Conlon acknowledged that the closing stages were frantic as his side tried to hold out against Waterford — but also pointed out that it gave them something to work on as they prepare for next week’s game against Tipperary.

“We lost our way a little bit towards the end, but we haven’t experienced that championship feel for a nice while, the Waterford crowd started getting in behind them, so it was no harm to get it,” he said.
