FOR THE FIRST time in eighty seven years, Clare’s senior footballers will contest successive Munster finals.

Such a feat means there’s a positive mood on The Water Break as we analyse Clare’s comprehensive 2-20 1-9 win over Waterford in the Munster SFC semi-final.

Páraic McMahon is joined on the podcast by two-time Clare SFC winning manager with Éire Óg Paul Madden and sports reporter Seamus Hayes.

  • How Clare manoeuvred the tricky hunting ground of Fraher Field
  • Clare boosted by the returning experienced duo of Cillian Brennan and Darragh Bohannon
  • Ikem Ugwueru’s surprise initial omission
  • Dealing with the favourites tag
  • Ronan Lanigan’s trajectory
  • Killer instinct needs to be improved when Clare contest Munster final and All-Ireland SFC series
  • Putting forward the case to hold the Munster final in Ennis
