Yesterday’s Waterford Crystal Cup Quarter final marked the first competitive game for the All Ireland Champions, but also a debut in the Clare senior jersey for several players drafted into the panel by Davy Fitzgerald and his selectors.
Duggan hit 12 points in the banners 1-14 to 0-11 win over Limerick with 8 points from placed balls, while Eire Og’s David Reidy goaled on his debut with the first score of 2014. Killian Ryan of Ruan added a point, as did Clonlara’s Cathal O’Connell from centre forward.
Fitzgerald is expected to send out another experimental side in next Sundays Semi final against UCC, that game now confirmed for Sixmilebridge at 2 o’clock.
