Congrats to the Banner, should have been done and dusted at half time apart from a 5 minute lapse. Some of the skill was breathtaking.

Cmon the Banner

super win ....as complete a second half performance as i have seen any clare team give...really hope these guys can progress to senior ranks....
the performance of the less marquee players like taffe/flanagan/mcinerney/ryan x2 & golden showed what a talented bunch these guys are....cathal mci also looked the part with a great return to form...banner abu roll on 2013 !!

Massive win for Clare Hurling , delighted for the County and a good win for hurling as in my opinion , no disrespect to Kilkenny intended , what really impressed me about Clare last night was the players who don't usually get all the media attention really stood up and were counted , the likes of Taafe , Flanagan , McInerney , Killian and Conor Ryan , Shane Golden , Cathal McInerney , Cathal O'Connell were all phenomenal , expect all these lads to be involved with the senior panel next year , whats also very exciting is most of this team are eligible for the u21 grade next year plus your gonna have the likes of Jamie Shanahan , Conor Cleary and Eibher Cuilligan involved .......very exciting times ahead for Clare hurling , expect the seniors to win Munster next year

Well done Clare. A county that kept the faith. Hope our own lads can get inspiration from your great win.

Great win for the lads, serious talent and hopefully will blend well with a good core from the 2009 panel, Nicky, Conlon, Dillon, Donovan... Future is bright one hopes. Also must acknowledge the graciousness of the Kilkenny management and also earlier comments from posters outside of the county here. +1 to you all and thank you!

8 of this team already on senor panel.

yankee (Clare) - Posts: 134 - 23/09/2012 10:05:26    1270882

I would think that Paul Flanagan, Conor Ryan, Shane Golden and Tots O Connell will join the panel at the start of next season

id say you could add diarmuid mcinerney and daire keane to this list.. if clare can sort out their full back line they could really ruffle a few feathers next year..
