Cusack Park gates set to reopen for Clare club clashes

The gates of Cusack Park could be reopened later this month to stage the third round of Clare SHC games.

The €2.3m redevelopment of the Ennis venue commenced less than two-weeks ago after the start date had twice been pushed back to accommodate various Clare teams throughout the summer, most recently the Munster U21 hurling final between Clare and Limerick on July 30.

The roof of the main stand is almost removed and it was expected that no games would be played at the county’s primary ground until early in 2016, owing to obvious healthy and safety concerns.
