Tony Kelly returns to captain the Banner County for Sunday’s repeat of last year’s league final at Cusack Park, while Jack Browne, Paul Flanagan and Gearoid O’Connell are named on the bench.

Clare, the defending champions, sit second in Division 1A after four games and know victory over Derek McGrath’s side would ensure a passage through to the last eight.

    The colour comes from sunlight that has been scattered by the air. There’s also red sunlight but not in a high enough concentration to do anything to effect the colour.

    The fact that bookmakers are only taking bets for ‘Leinster without Dublin’ says it all.

    You can treat 30% as ‘spoiled votes’ made up Dubs voting for other counties for a laugh and a hardcore who will only vote for their county.
    That would leave about 1% who actually believe another county will win so the poll should be showing about 99% for Dublin
