A bank of work and a blitz of games. Clare had to log one while managing the other. As All-Ireland champions, that was always going to be a challenge. It ended in relegation from the league.

Ryan Taylor played in all six games across that competition. In fact, he played 394 of 420 available minutes. There was huge rotation but the Clare midfielder was one constant.
