Clare could be without their captain for Saturday’s All Ireland Hurling Quarter Final.
Pat O’Connor is in a race against time to be fit for the showdown with Wexford after damaging his ankle in training.

The game is set for a 3pm start on Saturday afternoon with huge volumes of traffic expected around Cork City while the Live at the Marquee series continues which will add to congestion for post match traffic.
Tommy Guilfoyle says the timing of the game is far from ideal
