No Tony Kelly

In the lead up to throw in, word quickly spread through Walsh Park of Tony Kelly's absence through illness. Local radio commentators didn't spot the 2013 Hurler of the Year getting off the Clare bus. The Banner missed his wizardry. He also would have given them another free-taking option on an off day for Aidan McCarthy. Brian Lohan will need his captain and Shane O'Donnell back on the field when Tipperary land in Cusack Park on May 10.
