Clare look to McGrath Cup to avenge championship defeat

IT’S probably a bit early in the season to be talking of grudge games but that’s exactly what will be on the minds of the Clare football team as they face Limerick in the McGrath Cup Final in Ennis tomorrow.

Last June in the Munster semi-final, Limerick won on a scoreline of 2-14 to 0-12. Clare manager John Kennedy wasn’t happy with his side’s performance in Cusack Park that day. Now, revenge seems to be in air.

“You could say that. Limerick are seen to be ahead of us at the moment which is fair enough but we didn’t do ourselves justice that day. If you’re beaten when you’ve performed to your full potential you can’t complain, but we were disappointed in the way we played over the 70 minutes.
