Clare adamant Cusack Park will be ready for Limerick clash

Clare officials face a major battle against the clock to have the main stand at Cusack Park open for business this weekend.

County Board chairman Joe Cooney yesterday confirmed Cusack Park will stage this Sunday’s Allianz HL Division 1B promotion decider, despite concerns that the redevelopment project would not be complete on time.

The main stand at the Ennis venue has been closed off to spectators since last July’s Munster U21 hurling final and while the €2.3m facelift was expected to be finished come the start of the leagues in late January, work is still ongoing at the ground less than six days out from the Limerick-Clare league clash.
