The Clare senior championships have thrown up some intriguing contests following the draw in Clareabbey.
Defending hurling champions Ballyea face 2017 finalists Clooney/Quin in the stand out first round draw while O’Callaghan’s Mills meet 2016 runners-up Clonlara.
Eire Og against Kilmaley is another interesting showdown, as is Inagh/Kilnamona and Tulla’s meeting.
Newly promoted Feakle are against Newmarket-on-Fergus, Sixmilebridge face Clarecastle, Wolfe Tones meet Crusheen, and Cratloe take on Whitegate.
In football, the new format has produced a Group of Death as three recent finalists – Cooraclare, Doonbeg and Ennistymon battle for two quarter-final places.
It will be equally competitive in Cratloe’s group as they take on Clondegad and Eire Og.
Title holders St. Joseph’s Miltown/Malbay are joined by Kilmihil, Kilrush and the O’Curry’s/Naomh Eoin amalgamation.
While their predecessors Kilmurry/Ibrickane must tackle Lissycasey and Corofin.
