Injury worry for Clare pair

CLARE boss Micheal McDermott has injury worries over defender Laurence Healy and attacker Barry Toner ahead of next Sunday’s Munster SFC quarter-final against Waterford in Fraher Field in Dungarvan. Healy is suffering from a shoulder injury while Toner has been battling a hamstring strain.

Neither player has played since Clare’s final NFL Division 4 game against Waterford, but Healy is considered the greater doubt for next Sunday’s clash. Graham Kelly is definitely ruled out of the game after suffering breaking a bone in his arm but Joe Hayes and Ger Quinlan have shaken off leg and rib injuries respectively to be in the shake up for the starting fifteen.

“We’ve a couple of niggling injuries to deal with now,” says McDermott.
