Lohan must love Munster but All-Ireland the one to win 'by a mile'

The shadow of Limerick continues to cast long but Brian Lohan doesn’t believe the absence of a Clare win over their neighbours took away from last year’s All-Ireland success.

Limerick were the victors in Ennis in the first round of Munster as they were in a third straight provincial final but Clare prevailed in the long run. Their rivalry, Lohan suggests, hasn’t changed ahead of this year.
