Let the good times roll, Clare’s senior footballers have recorded back to back provincial wins to book their spot in the Munster final and also the All-Ireland SFC series and it’s all analysed in the latest episode of The Water Break.

Colm Collins has achieved a lot during his time as Clare boss but now the longest-serving inter-county manager is preparing for his first Munster SFC final.

It’s on the back of Clare’s nervy three point win over Limerick on Saturday with Keelan Sexton’s goal proving to be the difference.

Joining us on The Water Break is the last man to captain Clare in a Munster SFC final, Alan Clohessy and TUS GAA Games Development Officer Mark O’Donnell.

Items on the CLÁR:

  • Easy games between Clare and Limerick don’t exist
  • Clare learning all the time
  • Direct supply to the on-form Keelan Sexton
  • The graveyard shift
  • Continually finding an extra gear
  • Stephen Ryan’s growing influence
  • A long wait to get back to a Munster final
  • Is self-belief Clare’s biggest hindrance when facing Kerry
  • The Cusack Park factor
