Three consecutive losses in the Munster final to Limerick leaves public feeling they are as far away as ever.
Declan Bogue LET’S TAKE THE SURGEON’S scalpel out for a second, to the pivotal moments of the Munster hurling final.As Marty Morrissey noted in his commentary, he ‘gave it absolutely everything,’ but it went wide.
Because he didn’t gather McInerney’s flat-stick pass first time, he drifted even further out. By the time he let off his swing, he was around 10 metres from the right hand sideline, striking crossfield to a position between dead centre of the pitch and the left sideline. Barry Nash gathered, Kyle Hayes delivered. Aaron Gillane got a flick on while Clare defender Conor Cleary missed the flight. Gearoid Hegarty followed it in.
Tony Kelly was put over the sideline by Will O’Donoghue. A fair engagement, given as a Clare free. Aidan McCarthy sent it wide. A puckout from Quaid way down the line, O’Brien gathered, handpassed to Tom Morrissey and it was over. In the war of little wins ahead, Clare are already one up in on scheduling. Despite the county lobbying for the game to be moved to Sunday, when it came to it, they then voted to keep it on a Saturday.
