Sparrow wants Clare to fly higher

CLARE hurling manager Ger O’Loughlin has talked up the importance of Sunday’s NHL Division Two final against Wexford, after his counterpart Colm Bonnar was critical of the league format earlier this week.

“Colm Bonnar will tell you that ultimately it’s not good to be playing Division 2 hurling.

“If Wexford don’t win on Sunday it will mean a third year in Division Two and that can’t be good for Wexford hurling. Everybody switches off.
