Great to have the Banner back

Delighted to see Clare reach the Munster hurling final for the first time since 1999.
Then a packed Thurles saw the restoration of the old guard when a young Cork side managed by Jimmy Barry Murphy ousted Ger Loughnane's team, which had won three out of the last four Munsters and two All Irelands.
That day signalled the end of an era, the end of the hurling revolution and normal business was restored as only Cork, Tipp and Kilkenny have won the All Ireland since after being frozen out of the honours for five years between 1994-'98.
Clare have enjoyed some great days since, reaching an All-Ireland final back in 2002 only to be badly beaten by a DJ Carey inspired Kilkenny.
Under Anthony Daly the Banner enjoyed a couple of good days at the office through the back door but they have for the most part been bit players since the 1999 defeat.
This year's resurgence under Mike McNamara has come in almost under the radar.
Only a very brave man would have predicted that Clare would reach a Munster final at the start of the season.
However, McNamara has brought most of the same bunch of players who have been there for two to three seasons now through games with Waterford and Limerick.
Neither of those sides played to their full potential so it is difficult to assess just how much progress Clare have made but there is nothing like a couple of wins in the championship to lift a team and they will not fear their Munster final opponents, Tipperary quite in the same way as Cork.
The Clare forward line has done the business posting a huge score against Waterford and while not setting the world on fire on Sunday they still managed four goals.
Tony Carmody is strong and a good target for the long ball while young Mark Flaherty, Gilligan and sub Barry Nugent all have helped to make the full forward line a bit more competitive.
The half forwards are industrious with Johnathon Clancy a live wire and in mid field Brian O'Connell is a workhorse alongside Lynch's experience.
The half back line is the one I would worry about.
Clare have leaked 40 scores over the two games and the Morans made hay on Sunday from the half forward line.
A fully fit Gerry Quinn might be the solution to some of this problem area but it can only be good for the Munster championship to have the Banner back.
