Clare manager Brian Lohan hailed his “generational-type” hurlers as they pulled off a thrilling victory over Limerick in TUS Gaelic Grounds on Saturday night.

Coming into the game on the back of an opening-day loss to Tipperary in Ennis, Lohan praised the calmness of his players in what was billed as being close to a do-or-die game for The Banner.
