Meanwhile one of Clare’s stars has outlined the opportunity presented to the banner ahead of Sunday’s Munster Championship clash with Waterford.
The winners of Sunday’s match will face Limerick in a Munster semi-final, and have the chance to avoid facing provincial giants Cork or Kerry until a potential final date.
David Tubridy of Doonbeg says he recognises the chance this presents to Clare football.
He’s targeting the Banner’s first Munster Senior Football Final for ten years
