Clare boss Brian Lohan says he was always confident his side would respond positively in their All Ireland hurling quarter-final.
A hat-trick for captain Tony Kelly along with green flags for Mark Rodgers and Shane O’Donnell helped the Banner overcome Dublin to set up a last four showdown with Kilkenny for the second year running.
Management have a number of injury concerns to contend with ahead of that game, with John Conlon and Shane O’Donnell both in a race against time after picking up injuries on Saturday evening.
Lohan says while there was a sense of disappointment after the Munster final loss, his side have the character within their group to learn from it.
