Brian Carroll says best way to defend against Limerick is with a sweeper
Clare co-manager Gerry O'Connor : “We travelled down on the morning of the game in Walsh Park in the National League and we definitely knew that that wasn’t the right thing to do.
“The only way we can look at it is the championship last year and, whether it was Munster or Leinster, it was very obvious that the home teams definitely seemed to have an advantage and the further you travelled, the more the advantage was with the home team,” he said.
“So it’s a completely new venture for us because, when you’re playing in the Munster Championship, it’s normally Thurles or Limerick or Cork and you can plan logistically very well. You get your timelines right for the morning and the afternoon.
