Gerry O’Connor sizing up Clare's fortress Cusack

Clare joint-manager Gerry O’Connor has claimed the pitch in Cusack Park is bigger in size than Thurles and Croke Park.

On the fourth Sunday of this month, the Clare hurlers will play their first Munster Championship game at the Ennis venue in 21 years.

O’Connor accepts there are several preconceptions surrounding Cusack Park, but does not agree with the suggestion that it is a tight pitch.
