In these high-paced and tough-tackling times, there are few moves as effective in buying space as a well-executed dummy. Most iconically deployed by Sean Cavanagh, the simple but deadly skill is aesthetically wonderful as it leaves a defender failing through the air.
Tonight in Páirc Uí Rinn Clare take on Cork in a mid-table clash. A win for Clare would consolidate their spot in Division two while Cork are already safe on six points.
A staple of Colm Collins side in recent years has been Gary Brennan. Tonight the Clondegad pulled off a slick dummy and dash before slotting the ball over the bar as Clare launched a mini-comeback.

Clare will play the winners of Kerry or Limerick in this year's Munster championship semi-final. They've enjoyed an eventful league on thus far but a few more performances like tonight could provide the platform for a decent Championship campaign later in the year.
