Daly relishing local derby showdown

A DERBY day in Ennis and Anthony Daly can’t wait. Limerick and Clare haven’t had much championship hurling history in recent times but that neighbourly rivalry is still there in abundance.

Drawn together in the hurling qualifiers, the former All-Ireland -winning captain is relishing the big day explosion of passion at Cusack Park, as both sides bid to get their Croke Park quest back on line.

“There’ll be a big crowd, real championship atmosphere. It is a derby game with both teams in the same boat,” he said.
