A SENSE of shock still exuberates around Clare hurling following a successive championship defeat which has left their All-Ireland defence in the balance.

There’s a lot of questions to be pierced through as we return with the latest episode of The Water Break.

Joining Páraic McMahon are former Clare goalkeeper Leo Doyle and All-Ireland winner with the Clare intermediates in 2012, Padraig Hickey.

On the agenda:

  • Still hope for Clare
  • Absenteeism costly for Clare
  • Lacking leadership
  • Freshness missing from Banner
  • Full-back line left without protection
  • Warning signs were evident in the league
  • Team selection
  • Where Tipperary impressed and Clare faultered
  • David Reidy leading the way for Clare
  • Aidan McCarthy absence the elephant in the room
  • Dropping John Conlon a mistake
  • Making mountains
