The Munster Council are lobbying for more supporters to be allowed attend Sunday’s provincial SHC semi-final between Clare and Tipperary in LIT Gaelic Grounds.

The Irish Examiner understands the council are requesting that the authorities give them the green light so that more than 200 spectators can watch the game at the Ennis Road venue.
