WOLFE TONES, who won the Munster club hurling title at the first time of asking back in 1996, ended Bruree’s adventure in a dull first round clash at Cusack Park, Ennis, yesterday to set up what should be a more exciting assignment against Erin’s Own in Cork in two weeks time.

WOLFE TONES from Shannon, whose only other county title was won back in 1996 when they went on to claim the Munster title, installed themselves as favourites to lift the Clare senior hurling championship yesterday when they reversed last year’s county final result to dethrone Clarecastle on a 1-9 to 1-7 scoreline in a disappointing semi-final at Cusack Park, Ennis.
