Trailing by five points with time running out, Clare footballers staged a dramatic comeback to overcome Roscommon with Keelan Sexton netting a penalty, captain Eoin Cleary kicked a decisive point while the winning score came courtesy of Jamie Malone.

This has sealed Clare’s place in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals for the first time since 2016.

The Water Break’s latest episode sees experienced journalist Seamus Hayes & ex Clare selector David O’Brien join Páraic McMahon.

The agenda:

  • Where does the win rank in Clare’s football history
  • New players slotting in seamlessly
  • Change in narrative on football in the county
  • Making the most of personnel available
  • Areas Derry will target Clare
  • Can Clare drive on further
