Having spent their spring in Division 1B, Clare might not know precisely where they’re at, but they can approach the championship with quiet confidence.

Mark Rodgers isn’t certain whether there’ll be any cost to playing a season outside the top tier. He’s sure, though, that they will get a first-grade test against Dublin in Sunday’s final.
