Clare chairman Keating: Handing Limerick home advantage more suitable than Páirc Uí Chaoimh trip

Clare GAA chairman Kieran Keating believes offering up home advantage to Limerick for Sunday week’s Munster senior hurling final was more suitable than playing the game in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Following a late intervention by Clare on Monday night, the Munster Council’s competitions control committee (CCC) reconvened Tuesday lunchtime and confirmed that the game will be staged at TUS Gaelic Grounds on June 11.
