Clare and Limerick prepare to share the limelight

THE 2009 Munster Under-21FC starts off on a unique note in West Clare tonight, with Clare and Limerick squaring off under floodlights in Cooraclare.

The floodlit action marks a historic first for inter-county games in Clare and the official launch of the new lights will take place at half-time of tonight’s quarter-final tie.

“We’re very proud to be hosting this tie,” states Cooraclare secretary Sean Chambers. “We’d be very thankful to the community for their assistance in helping us raise funds and we’re honoured to be hosting this game.”
