Clare hurling manager Brian Lohan says he's not panicking over his team's form in this season's Munster Hurling Championship.
The All Ireland Champions are bottom of the table and yet to win in the provincial round robin so far this year.
They fell to a 3 point defeat at home to Tipperary last night and have one point from 3 games.
