Shanahan out of Clare’s Munster bid

Clare’s Jamie Shanahan has been ruled out of the Munster senior hurling championship after undergoing surgery to alleviate a long-standing back issue.

Shanahan clocked up 420 minutes of championship hurling for the Banner in 2018 and his absence from the half-back line has been evident during the Allianz Hurling League, where Clare conceded 6-125 during the campaign.
