The 2021 Clare senior football championship gets underway this weekend with six first round games down for decision.
The standout game comes in Group One, with a repeat of the 2019 decider as holders Kilmurry Ibrickane renew rivalries with neighbours Miltown.
Silverware has already been secured by Miltown this year as they claimed the Cusack Cup title, but manager Michael Neylon says that will have no bearing on how the championship plays out
Clare FM will have live commentary of Miltown vs Kilmurry on Saturday evening from 7pm in association with Jones’s Supervalu Miltown Malbay
The other game in Group One sees last years beaten finalists Cratloe taking on Cooraclare, with these sides last meeting in the 2018 quarter finals.
Cooraclare boss Michael Garry says while his squad picked up injuries to key players in the league, they have to put that to one side ahead of another big test
Elsewhere Lissycasey will be looking to build on a positive 12 months when they face near neighbours Eire Óg in the opening game of Group Three.
The Garry Cup title was secured in recent weeks, while last year saw them narrowly lose out to eventual champions Kilmurry Ibrickane at the semi final stage.
Manager John Ryan says while it is a bonus to have a title in the bag already, the championship is the ultimate prize
Clare FM will have live commentary of Lissycasey v Eire Og on Sunday afternoon from 2.45pm in association with N18 Autos Newmarket on Fergus and Old Mill Road Ennis.
