Kelly Injury Blow For Ballyea Ahead Of Crucial Scariff Showdown

Ballyea have been dealt a major blow in their bid to retain their Clare senior hurling title.

County star Tony Kelly could miss the remainder of the club championship after suffering a serious ankle injury.

The former Hurler of the Year is understood to have fractured a bone in his leg, and is currently wearing a protective boot due to the injury.

The holders face Scariff on Sunday afternoon in a crucial Group One game, with the winners of that tie likely to secure a quarter-final spot.
