Tony Kelly has declared that Clare simply have to win the Munster title after reaching their fourth final in seven seasons.
It’s the only major honour, either individual or collective, that the Ballyea man doesn’t have from his Clare career having picked up All-Ireland and League medals, Hurler of the Year, Young Hurler of the Year and All Star awards by the time he was 22.
But defeat has been his lot in the three Munster finals he has played in (2017, ‘18 and ‘22), with Clare having lost five in all since their last provincial title in 1998. It’s a run that Kelly insists must be halted come June 11.
