Clare play their first intercounty hurling game in six months this evening.

Brian Lohan’s side host Limerick in the Co-Op Superstores Munster hurling league on the astro turf in Clarecastle.

It is a first outing of the new season for both sides, and Clare’s first since their All Ireland semi-final loss to Kilkenny last July.

Throw in this evening is at 7pm, with the all-ticket affair fully sold out.
