CLARE’s Easter rising in coming back from twelve points adrift to almost snatch a win from Cork’s grasp showcased their experience but also has them in high spirits for a tricky trip to Waterford.
Joining us on The Water Break to reflect on Clare’s opening round draw with Cork and to look ahead to Sunday’s clash with Waterford are former Clare manager and All-Ireland winner, Cyril Lyons from Ruan and Fergie O’Loughlin of Clarecastle who was part of the Waterford backroom team last season and has been coach of teams in Clare, Limerick, Tipperary and Kerry.
