Quarter-final ties may not have delivered on the promise of mouth-watering ties
Joining Ross O’Donoghue on The Water Break to look ahead to the semi-finals and to dissect the quarter-finals are
Matt Shannon, a Nicky Rackard winning coach with Roscommon this year who managed Éire Óg when they last contested the Clare SHC final in 2022 and coach of Corofin’s side to win the Clare IHC in 2023 and Martin Conlon a three-time Clare SHC winner with Sixmilebridge who was part of the management team with Broadford’s senior hurlers this season and has formerly been involved with O’Callaghans Mills senior hurlers plus Clare and Cork senior camogie sides.
On the agenda:
- Titanic duels await in semi-finals
- Battle-hardened players in Ballyea
- Talent coming to the fore in Clooney/Quin
- Conditioned Kilmaley showing plenty of battle
- New additions have given the Éire Óg an old-guard reason to stay going
- Inagh/Kilnamona needed to drop bodies back
- Feakle unable to withstand all the blows
- Clonlara caught
- Bridge can bounce back from hammering
