It’s a measure of the growing health of hurling across the province that the second Munster U21 hurling semi-final (Cusack Park, Ennis, throw-in 7.30pm) sees the Clare hosts — Munster minor champions 2010 and 2011 and beaten finalists of 2012 — face Waterford, Munster minor champions of 2009.

Munster and All-Ireland champions Clare cruised into a second successive provincial intermediate hurling decider at Semple Stadium yesterday.

Kerry U21 boss Eamonn Fitzmaurice urged his team not to get carried away by last night’s 31-point demolition of Waterford in an extremely one-sided Munster football championship semi-final.

TOMORROW semi-final represents unchartered waters for this generation of Waterford youngsters as they partake in the county’s first All-Ireland MHC semi-final in 17 years.

JUST over six weeks ago, Clare beat Waterford in the first round of the Munster MHC, a single point the difference down in Dungarvan.

GAA chiefs yesterday announced that the country’s lesser lights are set to take centre stage in Croke Park on July 4th, with the fixing of the Christy Ring, Nicky Rackard and Lory Meagher Cup deciders.

LIMERICK boss Ger Hegarty has made two changes for tonight’s crucial Munster MHC play-off with Waterford at the Gaelic Grounds, 6.30pm.

AFTER a lifetime of service on the playing fields, Brian Lohan has turned his attention to management.
