Clare centre-back John Conlon says he and his teammates felt they “needed to back up” their win over Tipperary in the Munster SHC with victory over Cork on Sunday.

The Banner ran out winners 0-28 to 2-20 in Semple Stadium and Conlon credited the Clare management with getting their preparation for the Cork game right.
