Former Clare star Jamesie O’Connor says he sees a lot of positives for his native county heading into Sunday’s Munster SHC final against holders Limerick.

The two sides clash in a provincial senior hurling decider for the first time since 1995 and, writing in his column for Sky Sports GAA, O’Connor sees it as “a free shot” for the Banner County this weekend.

“The positivity around the county, particularly off the back of the Waterford match, means the squad and the team are in a good place heading into Sunday. And in many ways, it's a free shot.

“But there is also a realism that it's a massive challenge. They are going to have improve from that day in Ennis. Are they going to get a better chance?

“Limerick's injured contingent will have had more recovery time before Sunday. If the Treaty have a full team, and bring their A-game, they are still the best team in the country and will have too much for the Banner.”
