Eddie Brennan believes Clare will have to go into death zone to make the final while Frank Roche has details of the first ticket frenzy of the year as Croke Park gears up for its first full house of the GAA season when the all-conquering hurlers of Limerick put their All-Ireland crown on the line against Cork this Sunday.
Limerick legend Ciarán Carey joined The Throw-In’s regular trio of John Mullane, Eddie Brennan and Michael Verney to preview this weekend’s All-Ireland semi-finals.
The team break down whether Limerick can come back at Cork following the Rebels’ thrilling victory over the Treaty men in the provincial series. There’s a belief that Limerick would have gone over that clash with a fine comb – after all, they ‘have a score to settle’ according to Ciarán.
Meanwhile, John Mullane gives his reaction to the news that Davy Fitzgerald has stepped down as Waterford boss.
Elsewhere, the pressure is on Clare to realise their potential and knock off a Kilkenny side who yearn for All-Ireland success.
