Clare had looked winners from a long way out but still struggled to get over the line and claim their second win against hard going Kilkenny in this engrossing National Hurling League game in Nowlan Park today.

Clare hit some bad wides midway through the first half to keep Kilkenny interested till the end.

Clare need to get that killer instinct and keep the hammer down when chances arrive. it may be their undoing again.

Kilkenny showed a bit of spirit to get the crowd going but you'd wonder if the class is still there to get them to the top again.
Richie Leahy looks as he could do something in the summer, but you still get the impression that Cody will be relying on the few old guard left to do the heavy lifting.

Kilkenny would be better off in 1B.

Can't see it this year all the same with Tipp, Galway and Waterford (come the summer) ahead of them and the likes of Wexford, Clare, Cork and Limerick able to give them a beating and no one being surprised about it.

Cody has gotten the work rate up and all that, but you just can't see the quality in some of those young fellas just yet.

They don't have the backs in the key positions.
He went to the well too often with the legends.

Real Madrid are doing exactly the same with Ronaldo and Modric

Rte :

A fourth successive win for Wexford over their historically intimidating neighbours will guarantee them top spot in Division 1A

3 out of 4 is still shocking  And its better than 2 out of 3 which ain't bad.

The bigger question is who's got the bigger kick come the summer.

Davy has a habit of peaking teams early, Kilkenny never really put much effort into the league but you get the impression that this year Cody was under more pressure and they did.

When the cats are away the mice will play
KK are missing cat#3 and cat#6
This goal at 4.42 wouldn't have happened a few years ago. Wexford wouldn't have dared.

Wexford probably have a more stable team as well. I think KK need more time.

Is richie hogan retired? Haven't seen him about this year but didn't hear anything and didn't think he was old enough.

waterfordlad

He hasn't retired but has had a lot of injury problems. They didn't miss him today. It's back to a Kilkenny Tipperary final again.

orangeman

I know it's only the league but I didn't see KK winning a league title this year.

Cody is made of stern stuff. Early days and Tipp will come back stronger.
