Clare want Munster semi delayed to give clubs time to play five rounds

Clare County Board will this week approach the Munster Council seeking the postponement of the provincial club hurling semi-final on November 10.

With only one series of club games having taken place, the county board are under immense pressure to run-off the five remaining rounds in time for the provincial campaign.

Saturday’s All-Ireland U21 decider against Antrim, coupled with the senior hurling final replay on September 28, have added to a fixtures backlog, delaying club action until early October.
