Clare lost by 3pts in the end. Backs played well but forwards were terrible. We were missing quinn, colin lynch, boc and carmody but I honestly don`t see us having any say this year. We haven`t got the type of scoring forwards needed to win championship games. Better news today about Gilligan. Just bad bruising on his shoulder and concussion. Nothing broken.

interesting that whilst if a waterford player slips coming out of the shower there is no word from clare re injuries. yet on the face of it to me its worrying that gerry quinn or carmody havent played in either challenge in the last few days. proper info on the panel seems as sparing as it was last year.

re our forwards it hasnt been talked about too much that we were never going to be playing with a full hand agaisnt waterford with d mac & particularly griffin not up to full speed.

Carmody is a guard, Is he still based in Limerick City?

unfortunately tony carmody has been through a family tragedy which he only found about in the dressing room before the offaly league game. i would be surprised if he has remained on the panel as a result

Gerry Quinn Full Back????

No Chance.

Quinn will be wing back...and i`ll be very surprised if he`s not.

Full back will either be Frank or Dara Clancy

Brennan

Gerry O Grady
Frank Lohan
T Keogh

Brendan Bugler/Pat Donnellan
Conor Plunkett
Gerry Quinn

Brian O` Connell
Colin Lynch

Diarmuid McMahon
Tony carmody
Jonathan Clancy

Niall Gilligan/Tony Griffin
Fergal Lynch
Mark Flaherty

i would say your pretty much spot on there zafonic although i think that donnellan is a shoe in at wing back...cant see bugler starting ahead of him....

I don`t rate Bones and never have. As I said already we have 5 or 6 similar type forward big tall lads, limited skill and not a whole lot of pace and we can afford only 1 or 2 on a team and Diarmuid and Fergal Lynch are probably that bit better than the rest. Altough both - but especially Lynch- can be very poor on occasions.

Re Gerry Quinn. I don`t expect him to be full back but thats where I would have played him. I think he has so much ability that is wasted at wing back where we have more than adequate cover and I think he`d be a better option stopping Dan at full back than Frank.

I would say that if Clare can stop Dan scoring goals they will have a great chance of beating Waterford

You don`t rate bones yet you`d have barrett starting at midfield. I wonder about you.

But Why have Diarmaid Play.Surely He cant be right for Munster championship on the basis that he is only training a couple of weeks.Griffin the same.I respect what you write bbDC on Clare Hurling but I think you have got it wrong with regards Bones.
Best Forward against Limerick last year.

I would say that if Clare can stop Dan scoring goals they will have a great chance of beating Waterford

I`m not making my point well enough. I didn`t pick what I think will be the team for the championship. I picked what I would pick. Also if you look at Clares starting forwards Clancy has pace but so too have Carmody and Griffin, Mark Flaherty will also start so we,re still coming back to 2 of the rest of "similar" type hurlers to complete the team. The actual team that will start is looking like Brennan, GOG, Frank, D Clancy, Bugler, Plunkett, Donnelan, Lynch, BOC, Bones, Carmody, Clancy, Gilly Nuggie and Flaherty
