Clare’s under-20 hurling boss admits his side have a huge task ahead of them in their Munster championship opener this evening.
Sean Doyle’s young charges take on reigning All-Ireland champions Tipperary in a Munster quarter final, with the Premier County still having several of last year’s winning side available for selection.
The prize on offer is a semi final against Waterford in the straight knockout format.
Paddy Donnellan is captain for the match with Adam Mungovan and Jathan McMahon completing the back line with him.
Doyle says recent Harty Cup success for St Flannans and Tulla should stand his side in good stead for the campaign.
That one throws in at 7.30 this evening – Clare FM will have full live commentary of the game, in association with Matt Waters Clare Fruit and Veg Market, Turnpike Road and Geraghty’s Spar and Off Licence, Turnpike, Ennis.
