Replying To twbm:  "You cant be serious"
Why wouldn't I be?

It was a huge commercial success in attracting a major sponsor.

We got promoted from 1b after many failed attempts.

Beat Kilkenny consistently in all competitions which is a pretty big deal in Wexford.

First Leinster final in 8 years.

First Leinster win in 15 years.

First all Ireland semi final in 12 years.

Two failings were obviously the 19 semi final which still haunts me, and secondly there was a group of players just totally overlooked in terms of development which we're now suffering for.

But overall I would say his first stint was a success.

I haven't missed a competitive game in over 30 years and the Davy era was the first time since the 90s that I felt we had a chance in every game we played. I'd love to have that again.

Say what you will about him, he is a winner.

I can't quite get my head around how Clare people seem to view him. Between player and manager he's been a key part of almost everything Clare have ever done.
