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.
