Clare completely outbattled and outfought this Kerry side. They were 10 points a better team on the day and the scoreline was generous to Kerry. Clare physicality was too much for this Kerry team. A truly deserved win and historic occasion for Clare football.
A year before that 1991 Limerick Gaelic footballers should beaten Kerry should beaten them. But Clare footballers were clever that day, they marked Maurice Fitzgerald well that day.
Jack O Shea would not be a young man in that game! I met him once in Ireland's 32 bar in San Francisco in the fall of 1988 or 1989. A gentleman and great footballer. Probably the best Kerry midfielder since Mick O Connell. I wonder why do some counties produce great teams in every cycle, and some every couple of cycles and so on, and some once in blue moon, and some never at all? Given that the difference in player participation, the difference in county club competition, and the difference in facilities are minuscule.
I was amazed it wasn't in Ennis. But instead it was at Limerick Gaelic grounds. Let's hope Limerick Gaelic footballers can beat Kerry in the Championship someday, because they came close.
Before I get to my main point , I do admire Pat Spillane as a player and pundit as well. On this occasion I thought he was a small pit byist, it all about how Kerry were bad and credit to clare footballers that they.
That Kerry jersey is a thing of beauty

Jack was 35 rolling on 36 and it was his final year.
Spillane retired the year before..
