Quote MessageI think lots of people in the lead-up to this game questioned how well Derry's game is suited to Croke Park, well we are just seeing how well it is suited. They have so much pace and play with so much width and depth that they are creating goal chances and point chances for fun.

Quote MessageGareth McKinless has been quite defensive so far in the game but he goes on a break through the heart of the Clare defence, and we know he can finish. I would be really worried about the goal count here, I think Derry can cut Clare open at will.
