Michael Quinlivan feels there’s “something special” about Clonmel Commercials bringing their Munster Club SFC quarter-final against St Finbarr’s back to his hometown.

The Tipperary champions haven’t played a provincial game at the Clonmel Sportsfield since 2017 due to the condition of the pitch in recent years. Their past three home encounters have instead been hosted at Semple Stadium.
