Taking your opportunities from dead balls is crucial in hurling.
Former Kilkenny hurler Eoin Larkin has no doubt that Mikey Butler will pick up Tony Kelly in Sunday's All-Ireland semi-final, but it still leaves questions over the team’s tactical set-up.
A Tony Kelly hat-trick laid down a marker of Clare's progress and gave them a semi-final shot at redemption against Kilkenny in a fortnight's time.
Clare can feel aggrieved about not being awarded a late free but they had enough chances to win yesterday's Munster final against Limerick.
An Aaron Gillane-inspired Limerick held off Clare to claim a joint record fifth consecutive Munster title in TUS Gaelic Grounds on Sunday afternoon.
Limerick held off Clare by the skin of their teeth to claim a first ever Munster SHC five in a row. The Banner had led by a Mark Rodgers goal at the interval – 1-11 to 0-11 – in a slow-burning contest but the All-Ireland champions roared into the game after half-time thanks to a green flag from the unmarkable Aaron Gillane, who finished with 1-11 (8fs). Clare captain Tony Kelly (0-06, 2fs) levelled but Limerick, cheered on by the locals at a Gaelic Grounds split in colour, scored the next five points in a ten-minute period to take control.
Storm clouds seem to gather whenever Clare and Limerick meet.
Conor Cleary has been named to start at full-back for Clare in Sunday's Munster SHC final at the TUS Gaelic Grounds.
