Gilligan gives Clare a scare

FORMER Clare senior star Niall Gilligan is a major injury doubt for the county’s intermediate team who face Limerick in tonight’s Munster IHC final in Cusack Park, Ennis at 7.30pm.

The Sixmilebridge player has been named at full-forward in the starting 15 but may be forced to withdraw before throw-in according to Clare boss Kevin Kennedy.

“Niall is a big worry for us at this stage. We’ve selected him in our side as he’s a very important player for us. But we don’t know if he’ll be able to line out and that won’t be clear until before throw-in. We’ll give him every chance but it’s touch and go at this stage.”
