'I wouldn't be that downbeat' — Lohan points to Banner injury woes after Tipp defeat

“We're still delighted with our crew. Delighted with our bunch that we have. They showed a great bit of spirit and endeavour again.”

PLENTY TO CHEW ON: Clare Manager Brian Lohan

The Banner boss conceded that their All-Ireland title defence could be ended before they take the field again, depending on the outcomes of the Limerick-Cork and Tipp-Waterford games next weekend.
