Clare's Donal Moloney happy to avoid facing Cork in new Páirc Uí Chaoimh

Clare joint-manager Donal Moloney is pleased that Sunday week’s Munster SHC final against Cork is taking place in Semple Stadium and not Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

It appeared the Munster Council had taken the decision to stage the game in the new Cork venue providing it was ready. However, it won’t now open until the All-Ireland quarter-finals later next month.

Moloney felt the game being held on Leeside could only have favoured their opponents.
