There is no more room for error, it is knockout hurling from here on in. That is the view of Clare senior hurling selector Tommy Corbett after the Banner were left shell-shocked following their one-sided contest with Limerick in Ennis on Sunday (2-30 to 1-18).

Players and management have to come together to pick up the pieces ahead of their remaining round-robin games against All-Ireland champions Tipperary and runners-up Cork, both of which are away from home in FBD Semple Stadium (Saturday May 16, 7pm) and SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh (Sunday May 24, 4pm).
