Clare minor footballers fresh from a 4-18 to 0-4 win over Waterford in the opening round of the Munster minor football round robin series travel for a round 2 encounter with Limerick in Rathkeale this Thursday evening with a 7pm throw in.

In the opening round Tipperary who face Clare in round 3 accounted for Limerick on a 1-15 to 1-8 score line next week at a Clare venue named as St Joseph’s Miltown Malbay but suggestions are that it may be Wolfe Tones, Shannon once more.

The four sides, Clare, Limerick, Tipperary, and Waterford play a round robin with the winner playing the loser of a Cork v Kerry side in the semi-final.

The winner of the Cork v Kerry tie plays the winner in the Munster minor final on the 1st June.

Clare manager Dermot Couglan has made one change from the side that defeated Waterford with Ronan Kilroy from the Banner coming in for Niall Fitzgerald.
