After Munster final loss, it’s Wexford or Laois next up for Clare.
FOR THE THIRD successive year the Clare hurlers experienced that sinking feeling after a Munster final against Limerick on Sunday.

Feeling like we didn’t force them to win it if you get what I mean whereas the two previous years we felt we did. We could have no complaint at the weekend. They were the better team from start to finish.
The setback brings to five the number of Munster final losses that Kelly has now experienced since 2017.“It’s a huge motivation for ourselves individually, collectively,” said Kelly, speaking yesterday at the Michael Cusack Centre in Carran, Clare, as the 2024 All-Ireland hurling championship was launched.
