Clare have had a good league campaign, considering the pressure on a young team of being champions and their preference for summer conditions. Some new players have been trialled but it's hard to see huge changes in the team that stormed the All-Ireland. Clever, talented, quick and well-drilled,
they'll be hard to topple.


Last good day: Last year's All-Ireland final replay against Cork.
