Tactics Board: Can Cork keep their heads against Clare's deep wall?

Clare will focus on reducing the space, putting decision-making pressure on the likes of Mark Coleman or Tim O'Mahony

Clare's two-man inside line

This weekend sees two teams enter battle off very different opening results. Cork were fancied to beat Limerick but felt the brunt of a super team looking to shake off a league hangover. Clare went into the home of hurling and ran riot for 35 minutes.

This pair served an epic battle last year with Cork holding on, just about, to win 3-19 to 1-23. Tony Kelly had a last-minute goal chance to steal the game, Clare having already scored 1-1 in injury time.
