Clare captain David Russell blamed his side's lack of scores in the third quarter for their Munster SFC semi-final defeat to Limerick. "We went 15 or 20 minutes without scoring in the second half, and you can't do that in championship football. You have to keep the scoreboard ticking over," he ruefully reflected. "Giving them a head start didn't help either, we had to put in awful hard work to get back into it. But you can't let a team go six points up, there's desperate hard work in getting level after that." He added: "They got better scores from better positions - we were always trying to score from harder angles and it just didn't come off for us." Tweet
