WHERE did it go wrong for Clare’s senior hurlers is among the most asked questions across the county since their three point loss to Limerick on Sunday.

It’s the starting point on the return of The Water Break, The Clare Echo’s sporting podcast exclusive to subscribers.

Páraic McMahon is joined by 2013 All-Ireland winner Darach Honan, former Clare panellist Conor McNamara who guided Scariff/Ogonnelloe to win the U21A title in 2022 and Niall O’Connor former Clare minor coach and ex member of the senior hurling backroom team.

On the clár:

  • How did Clare let a nine point lead slip and end up on the losing side?
  • Square balls – is there a justification for Clare to be aggrieved?
  • Limerick’s improving discipline and exploiting space in Banner defence a factor.
  • Changes made on the Clare sideline.
  • Was it a mistake to bring Tony Kelly into the fray.
  • Psychological significance of Sunday’s game for both Limerick and Clare.
  • Tricky trip Leeside the perfect chance for Clare to bounce back.
