Clare Hurling Management Believed The Players Would Respond

Clare’s joint senior hurling manager claims they were confident a response would come to their two recent poor displays.

The Banner went out of the All-Ireland championship fighting after beating Cork 2-23 to 2-18 in Cusack Park.

Tipperary’s win over Limerick meant Clare lost out on a place in the All-Ireland series on scoring difference.

Gerry O’Connor says they felt they won back the supporters before the finish.
