Vaughan: Top tier return vital

CLARE captain Pat Vaughan believes Division Two hurling is continuing to stunt the development of Ger O’Loughlin’s team.

The Banner face Limerick tomorrow evening (Ennis, 6.30pm) in the Allianz League final with the winner securing promotion to the top flight.

But Vaughan believes that the lopsided standard in the second tier is detrimental to many teams plying their trade in the division and is desperate for Clare to emerge from the section.
