8 Goals, 83 Points, 12 Different Scorers: Clare’s 2026 Attack Built for Championship
Eight goals and eighty-three points scored. Two goals conceded. Twelve different scorers in a single match. These are the exact output figures from Clare’s three Allianz Hurling League Division 1B games in 2026 before Sunday’s final, and the specific number that carries the most information about Brian Lohan’s squad is not the total scored but the two goals conceded across three full competitive games – a concession rate that tells you the defensive structure is coherent and consistent, not held together by one or two individuals having big days.

The 8-83 total works out at just over thirty points per game average, which is the kind of output that forces opposition managers to take defensive risks they would rather not take, and when you take defensive risks against a side where twelve different players scored in a single game the problem compounds because there is no single man to neutralise and expect the system to hold.
The Wexford game in the final league round is the most useful data point because Wexford needed a result and came to Ennis with genuine intensity rather than loosened intent, and the Banner still won, leading by eight points in both halves before a late push reduced the margin. Ten different scorers in that single fixture tells you how the load distributes when everything is functioning as Lohan intends.

Adding Tony Kelly back into that system for Sunday’s final expands the threat further still, because the captain’s role is not primarily as a scorer, it is as the player who wins possession in congested midfield situations and creates the opportunities that Peter Duggan, Diarmuid Stritch, and the other forwards convert. Six debutants used across the league campaign, twelve scorers in a single game, two goals conceded in three matches – the numbers from Clare’s 2026 league are not the numbers of a team rebuilding after an All-Ireland, they are the numbers of a panel that knows exactly what it is doing and why.
Clare’s 2026 Allianz League statistics represent the most complete team performance in Division 1B and establish the attacking platform Brian Lohan needs for the Munster Championship run beginning April 19.
