Munster Council advise Clare the show must go on

The hurlers of Clare and Cork will meet tomorrow night after all, with the Munster Council deciding the Co-Op Superstores.ie Munster Hurling League clash must go ahead, despite the Banner County’s unhappiness with the fixture.

After their three-point win over Waterford in the Munster Hurling League last Sunday, joint managers Donal Moloney and Gerry O’Connor both stressed their unwillingness to fulfil tomorrow night’s fixture against Cork, pointing to the fact that they have 13 players on Fitzgibbon Cup duty today with various colleges and saying they would not “torture” their players with three games in four days.

It is understood that Cork pointed to a similar number of colleges players on their squad when opposing a change of schedule.
