Broken down bus fails to halt Banner boys successful trip to Tipp

A broken down bus meant the Clare minor footballers didn't arrive in Thurles until 10 minutes before the scheduled 7pm start time of their Electric Ireland Munster MFC semi-final against Tipperary on Wednesday night.

The Clare panel had assembled at the West County Hotel in Ennis at 3pm but their departure was delayed by an hour and a half due to mechanical problems.
