Brian Lohan has hailed the spirit of his Clare charges as they secured the county’s place in the All-Ireland quarter-finals.
Clare’s Tony Kelly has been credited with bringing his game to another level as Clare sealed their place in the quarter-finals of the All-Ireland senior hurling championship and has been described by Fergal Hegarty as the county’s greatest hurler.
Clare have discovered their opponents for the county’s first All-Ireland SHC quarter-final appearance since 2018.
“Anything could happen” with only six teams left standing in the race for the Liam McCarthy, Clare’s Tony Kelly has outlined.
A Tony Kelly inspired Clare have advanced to the All-Ireland quarter-finals with a deserved seven point win over Wexford.
Stopping Wexford’s running game is key to Clare securing a win in Saturday’s All-Ireland SHC knockout qualifier tie according to The Clare Echo’s columnist Darach Honan.
Clare have narrowly overcome the challenge of Laois to secure their place in the second phase of the All-Ireland SHC qualifiers.
Darach Honan says Clare’s qualifier is a chance for the hurlers to get their season back on track and points to Limerick’s weekend win over Tipperary as an outing which has put the Banner’s Munster loss into perspective.
Clare senior hurling manager Brian Lohan has hailed Tony Kelly as a “once in a generation player” and pinpointed their sluggish start to the second half as a key factor for Sunday’s ten point defeat.
Not even an unprecedented 17 point masterclass from Tony Kelly could prevent neighbours Limerick from securing the double boost of National League honours and a Munster Semi-Final spot in Semple Stadium, Thurles this afternoon.
