Clare begin the defence of the Munster Minor Hurling title tonight against the team they beat in last year’s final.
Waterford travel to Cusack Park for a clash against the Banner, nine months after the Banner recorded a 1-20 to 3-09 win, and thus lifted the title for the fourth time in the county’s history, and the second time in a row.
Clare have won their last 7 Munster Championship matches, but will go in search of another with only 3 men who lined out in last year’s All Ireland semi-final loss to Galway.
Feakle’s Eibhear Quilligan, Eire Og’s Shane O Donnell and captain Shane O’Brien of Clonlara were to be joined by Jamie Shanahan of Sixmilebridge, but he misses out tonight due to injury.
So a number of new players will line out for Clare tonight, but manager Eamon Fennessy says Clare’s more experienced stars are helping out the county’s younger guns
Throw in at Cusack Park is at 7:00 tonight. We’ll have live updates here on Clare FM
