RTÉ GAA Podcast: Clare lead the chasing pack, Cork and Waterford floundering

Shane Dowling joins Jacqui Hurley and Rory O'Neill to look back on the weekend's Allianz Hurling League action.

Clare lent further credence to idea that they're the second best team in the country with another victory, this time over Waterford.

Are Munster neighbours The Déise and Cork struggling to find form? Tipperary certainly aren't as their bright start to 2024 continued.

Elsewhere Dublin were delighted to take full points from Belfast while Wexford's inconsistency manifested itself once more against Offaly.

Off the pitch, is enough being done to develop hurling outside the traditional counties? Can hurling be treated like just another sport, or do Croke Park have to nurture it differently?
