In addition, former Waterford hurler Ken McGrath joins Bord Gáis Energy sports sponsorship manager, Cork’s Ger Cunningham, RTÉ’s Marty Morrissey, Micheál O’Domhnaill of TG4 and U-21 All-Ireland winner, Joe Canning on the Break-through Player of the Year judging panel.
Clare, winners of the All-Ireland title in 2009, will open their challenge for honours when they take on Limerick on July 21 in the Munster semi-final.
