Perhaps it was because Rory Hayes is a fellow Wolfe Tones clubman that Brian Lohan felt he could single out the defender for his poor showing tagging Rory O’Connor in the first half of Clare's League defeat to Wexford in February.
His analysis was damning. “Yeah, Rory Hayes won’t be happy with his first half performance, 1-4 scored off him and three frees,” highlighted the Clare manager. “It’s an awful lot to be conceding for a corner-back. He won’t be happy with that.”
