Sunday May 20

Munster Senior Hurling Championship

Cork v Clare, Pairc Ui Chaoimh, 4pm

A repeat of the 2017 Munster decider will attract a decent crowd Leeside.

Cork, who unearthed a raft of youngsters in the last couple of campaigns, face Clare, who are quietly optimistic about their chances with the new format.

In the past decade Clare have suffered harrowing losses down south, but the guarantee of four matches affords them ample opportunity to shine.

With demanding encounters for the next month Cork and Clare will want to start with a win so this promises to be a revealing Sunday afternoon in Pairc Ui Chaoimh.
