And realistically, in a fairly high-quality game that we saw today, Skel, really that period either side of halftime was a difference maker for Clare, and that's what's given them title number five.

yeah no absolutely and then that's uh if we are going to remember back to 13 years ago 2013 is kind of the theme of the day um claire be quick to point out that really that was basically the foundation of their under 21 team before that that then became that very successful team that year so again maybe it's a golden generation they've been really good entertainment murph that's the thing i mean monster final cracking game goes to penalties again today i thought claire played with a lovely brand of hurling um very very exciting final um as scale would say the gap was probably bigger than gaul we would have hoped for by the time that the game finished but um

This Clare team look like a good bunch of players even, if I can finally get that out.

Clare converted all four of those Munster titles into All-Irelands as well.

Wow.

Now, Leinster had a bad run in the under-20s, slash under-21, whatever you want to call it.

I think Limerick 2011 were the only team from Munster in basically the run of nearly a decade that didn't convert it into an All-Ireland title.

So, yeah, Tip were the beaten finalists in 2018 and Tip went on to win the All-Ireland that year under 21 as well, so.

Yeah, it was, yeah.

Yeah.

Don't worry, the listeners will be all over this in the comments.

They will definitely remember it better than we do.

So definitely lads have it fresher than I have.

I'd say so.

But yeah, look, as you said, Skel, the one thing for Galway is that
