THE WATER BREAK returns to dissect a successive one point Munster final defeat for Clare’s senior hurlers at the hands of Limerick.

Joining us on the latest episode are two-time All-Ireland winner and former Clare hurling boss, Ger ‘Sparrow’ O’Loughlin and three-time Clare SHC winner with Sixmilebridge, Martin Conlon.

With the benefit of hindsight, the analysts pore over where it went right for Limerick and wrong for Clare as the Treaty County claimed their first ever five in a row of provincial titles.

On the Clár:

  • Where Limerick won the game
  • Where Clare lost the game
  • Taking too long to make decisions
  • Offering protection to Clare’s defence
  • Declining workrate punished by ravenous Limerick
  • Making calls in the heat of championship
  • Liam Gordon’s key moment
  • Leg-weary Clare could have done with their own water break
  • Summer is far from over for Clare.
