Clare and Limerick prepare for battle as teams announced for Munster U21 hurling quarter-final

The sides clash in Ennis later on today for a place in the final four.

CLARE AND LIMERICK have both named their starting fifteen’s for this evening’s Munster GAA Hurling Under 21 Championship quarter-final, with both looking to book a semi-final date with Tipperary in Thurles.

The sides meet in Cusack Park, with throw-in due at 5.45pm in Ennis later today.

Pat Donnelly’s visitors are aiming to make it back-to-back Munster titles this season and record their fourth in eight years — with Limerick having claimed last year’s Championship on top of recent successes in 2011 and 2015.

They will be led by captain Kyle Hayes at centre back, with two-time U21 All-Ireland winner Seamus Flanagan named at full forward.
