The third time is the clearest. Here Clare had no complaints. For Brian Lohan, they came up against a terrific team and didn’t take crucial opportunities to beat them. Simple.

“Disappointed with the result obviously,” said Lohan post-match, after his side fell to a six-point loss against Limerick at Semple Stadium in front of a 45,148 crowd. John Kiely’s side are the first-time six-in-a-row champions in what was the most comfortable win of this provincial decider trilogy.
