Darragh Fitzgibbon, we have hardly mentioned him, Clare have managed to curb his influence, but that score is really important in getting him into the game. It has been what we expected and what we hope for.

HT: Clare 1-12 Cork 1-12
Darragh Fitzgibbon launches over the equaliser right on the break and the teams go in tied. What a half we've had.
Cork looked like they were set to overrun Clare with a blistering start, but the Banner have roared back into it. They do have issues in the full-back line, but have Cark have had their own issues with Clare's direct running.
Time to get our breath!
