Doonbeg vs Clondegad in Labasheeda at 14:00

Preview from the Clare Herald

One of the tougher weekend games to call draws to a close Sunday’s double-header in Labasheeda with both parties expecting to win.

Doonbeg are keen to right the wrongs of the campaign gone by, that being the one in which they competed in the relegation semi-final as opposed to the championship semi-final. Now is the time to set the record straight and what a way to do it than beating Clondegad who themselves will be targeting another last four finish. David Tubridy is back at full fitness and can orchestrate matters from attack, he will have assistance from Colm Dillon, Páraic Aherne, Shane Ryan and captain Shane O’Brien. They need to get going from the throw-in to upset Clondegad.

If it’s about righting wrongs for Doonbeg, then Clondegad will be out to go one step if not two further than 2015. They lost out to Cooraclare in a game everybody had them backed to win, everybody except Cooraclare that was. Clare’s talisman, Gary Brennan is without doubt their central figure but to overcome the Magpies he will need players such as Podge McMahon, Eoghan Donnellan, Conor Gavin, Shane Brennan and Brian Carrig to step up to the mantle. They may be without their representatives on the Clare Senior Hurling panel which would have a big impact for John Connole’s side.

Best of luck the the Team  and Management  (John, Martin and Kieran)
