CLARE have made just one change from the side that lost to Cork in last season’s Guinness All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship semi-final for Sunday’s Muster duel with their conquerors of nine months ago at Semple Stadium, Thurles.

DUAL STAR Alan Kearns returns to the Galway hurling team for Sunday’s Guinness All-Ireland quarter-final clash with Tipperary at Croke Park.

Limerick 2-13 Sligo 0-13

THE expected result, but it came in unexpected circumstances. The Datapac Sigerson favourites survived a scare in Rossa Park and had the Cork IT forwards kicked better, the weekend would have been ignited by a shock.

TWO Paul Taylor penalties inside three second-half minutes gave Sligo another Division 1B win yesterday, and left Laois plotting a relegation escape plan from Division Two.
