Galway next up for Clare

CLARE’S prize for defeat in yesterday’s Munster SHC semi-final is an All-Ireland qualifier away to Galway next month.

The Banner face John McIntyre’s men in the phase two clash on July 2, with Limerick meeting Wexford in the Gaelic Grounds in the other game in that section.

The matches are both repeats of the phase two qualifiers in 2009.

That season saw Limerick defeat Wexford 1-13 to 0-14 in Wexford Park, while Galway were 2-18 to 1-11 winners over Clare in Cusack Park, Ennis.

The winners of those two games will advance to phase three fixed for Saturday, July 9.

There they will face the winners of the two phase one clashes which will take place on Saturday with Cork hosting Offaly in Páirc Uí Chaoimh at 3pm, while Antrim play Westmeath in Casement Park at 4pm.
