Watched back the Clare championship game from last year tonight. A couple of things struck me this time around
We were haunted to be still in the game with 5 minutes to go, Clare had an unmerciful high wide count
We were definitely lacking that bit of nous last year. When Hoggy scored the goal to bring us evel with 10 to go we let Clare go down and score 2 quick points. We need to be more consistent during games this year
We had some huge performances in that game, Joyce and Downey were immense at half back, Brian Roche had a superb game, where has his forn gone?, and Deccie Dalton is vital to this team,he is a great linkman but the unglamorous work he does doesn’t go unnoticed with me
No Tobbie O Fluynn, no Mark Coleman and no Alan Connolly that day either. I think we are going to be much better this year if we get those 3 on the pitch
