The Clare All-Ireland winning player and manager on a red letter day for the Banner
He was absolutely incredible. His goal and his scores were immense. The over the shoulder point. Kelly was just majestic out there.Read More: All-Ireland hurling final player ratings as Clare's Tony Kelly puts on sensational display
Shane O’Donnell setup scores, took scores and looked very dangerous. When Clare went seven down, you could see the body language of the more experienced players. Cork got off to a very fast start but Clare got a great goal to claw it back again. I felt Cork were naive in certain things. David Fitzgerald nearly brought Clare back into the game on his own.
Cork were very one dimensional on puck outs. In general they went long and Clare won most of them. Cork were better in extra-time but throughout they weren’t good on the breaks. Clare were hungrier The two Clare corner backs, Conor Leen and Adam Hogan, were exceptional. For his first year, Leen was very tight, very efficient. Hogan has been very good all year. I thought Clare won that battle.
Cork’s half forward line didn’t really track back as much as Clare’s so they weren’t creating space for the lads inside, which suited Clare.
