JOINT MANAGERS DONAL Moloney and Gerry O’Connor have this evening revealed their hand for Clare’s All-Ireland hurling championship quarter-final clash with Wexford on Saturday.
Clare narrowly fell short of securing an automatic passage through to the last four after a two-point defeat to Cork in the Munster final earlier this month, but the Banner have stuck with the same formula for their showdown with Davy Fitzgerald’s Wexford.
Patrick O’Connor again captains a team which shows no changes from the reversal to Cork in the provincial decider, with Podge Collins, John Conlon and Shane O’Donnell again leading the forward line.
Clare are bidding to reach the All-Ireland final for the first time since 2013, which was also the last time they lifted the Liam MacCarthy.
Wexford beat Westmeath in the preliminary quarter-finals to set up Saturday’s meeting with Clare, which takes place at Páirc Uí Chaoimh and will be shown live on RTÉ.
The action gets underway at 3pm.

Don’t know if this lad is up to it would love to see Mark Travers, caomhin kelleher or Gavin bazunu get loan moves or start starting for their first teams.But that’s highly unlikely for kelleher or bazunu so a loan is probably needed. But I’d say Travers is better than Ramsdale at Bournemouth imo.
@James Mockler: apart from his debut,Travers has mad so many errors when given a chance,Ramsdale is a decent keeper.
@Nic Antonio: tbf travers has made mistakes but so has Ramsdale one that springs to mind is against Leicester I think vardy lobbed him from 35 yards. But I think play Travers as much as Ramsdale and you’ll potentially have a better keeper in the long run.
@James Mockler: O’Hara is a good keeper and playing first team football unlike Travers and Gavin is miles away from playing for Irish senior team.
