Carey: We’d love a crack at Kilkenny

For hurling followers everywhere, one of the most iconic moments in the history of the modern game was the winning point scored by Limerick’s Ciarán Carey against champions Clare in their 1996 Munster championship clash.

These days Carey is on the other side of the line, a selector alongside Limerick boss John Allen, and this evening they are preparing for another tilt against their neighbours.

The Allianz Hurling League Division 1B final may not be championship fare but it’s a huge game nevertheless, with a date with Kilkenny in the last four of the top flight, and promotion, at stake.
