Brian Lohan has spoken of the special bond that exists between the Clare players and supporters.

Speaking to gaa.ie ahead of Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC final against Cork, the Banner boss enthused: “I think our supporters, there is a real affinity with the team, with the individuals on the team. They see the work they're doing, how committed they are.

"Every day that they go out they give it all. We get a response from our supporters, then. I don't know what the figures were, but I'd say it would have been three to one, four to one, or five to one, above at the semi-final the last day.

"That was from a team that was probably very disappointed with how we played in the Munster final. Both matches against Limerick we made some mistakes, but they were still willing to support the team and get behind the team.

"I think there is that affinity there, we are conscious of that, and we are delighted with it, but it has to be respected too."
