Tony Kelly says the pain of last Saturday's loss to Kilkenny cuts deeper than their near miss in the Munster final against Limerick.

There is great support within the county. There was so much more than that aspect of losing John that let us down last weekend. “Everyone knows the player John is for us.

Shane Dowling thought Clare were below par from before throw-in last week but there is no denying an in-form Kilkenny will be the ultimate test for a ...

But it was a savage first year for Henry Shefflin, and like Lohan, he will be very happy going into the winter he has a lot to work with. When Padraic Mannion caught a puckout over Cian Lynch and the whole of Galway went berserk, I thought that was the moment they would kick on. So, I’m going to ask a question: if Cork in the quarter-final, Clare on Saturday, and Galway actually got their scoring efficiency right might they all would have won?
