The last man to lift the Liam McCarthy Cup is backing Clare to take the title back to the Banner County this day week.
Last years winning All Ireland captain with Kilkenny Eoin Larkin was in a similar position to the Clare players this time last year, preparing for an All Ireland final replay, the first since 1959.
They overcame Galway, the only side to beat them in the championship in 2012, that’s a good omen for Clare as they prepare to take on Cork next week in Croke Park, the rebels are the only county to have gotten the better of Davy Fitzgerald’s side this year in championship action.
Larkin back Cork to take victory in the first final, but has changed his prediction after seeing the confident performance from Clare two weeks ago.
