Clare Joint Hurling Manager Donal Moloney has defended the banner’s first half effort during their All-Ireland Semi-Final replay.
The Banner met Galway in Semple Stadium on Sunday, having failed to decide a finalist after extra time in Croke Park the first time out.
Clare recovered from an early nine-point deficit but couldn’t draw ahead as Galway took a 1-17 to 2-13 victory.
It was the second time Clare were forced to recover from a weak first half against Galway, but Clare joint hurling manager Donal Moloney says that this doesn’t reflect the Clare performance:
One of Clare’s key men says the final whistle on Sunday was one of the toughest moments of 2018.
Clonlara clubman John Conlon was remaining positive in the final stages, but says he’s disappointed they couldn’t get over the line.
