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
