Clare Underdogs look to show bite ahead of big match

FIVE Clare hurlers will be looking to show they have what it takes as the latest series of popular TG4 show Underdogs comes to the boil.

Next Saturday, the Underdogs take on the winners of the 2022 Allianz National Hurling League, Waterford live on TG4.

This week, Cian O’Rourke, Wolfe Tones Na Sionna, Cillian O Fionngusha, Clonlara, Dan Cunnane, Ogonnelloe, Evan McMahon, Feakle and Tommy Barry, Kilmaley will be pressing for starting spots for the big game which takes place under lights at SETU Arena, Waterford

This will be the debut game for returning Waterford manager Davy Fitzgerald, as he takes charge of the Deise for the second time. The excitement in Waterford will be palpable as everyone asks the question – Will the return of Davy Fitz spell defeat for all-star management team John Allen, Claire O’Connor and Jamie Wall?

The Underdogs is a unique group of hurlers, assembled from different clubs all across the country – the only rule is that the hurlers have never played at Liam McCarthy Cup level.

Over the course of the Underdogs series, we have followed the players over their six-month journey as they prepare for the match of their lives. We have seen their trials and tribulations, as well as hearing their incredible stories of tragedy and triumph.

Now, after an intense period of preparation and training they are ready to face the Allianz National Hurling League champions, Waterford.

Tickets to attend the game are on sale from Thurs 20th October 9:45pm, to purchase go to www.tg4.ie/underdogs
