CLARE’S U20 hurlers will not be travelling to Waterford this evening (Wednesday) as their third round clash has been postponed.
At 12:55pm, Munster GAA confirmed that the third round U20 hurling fixture between Clare and Waterford would not proceed at Fraher Field, Dungarvan. “A date for the re-fixed game will be confirmed in due course,” a statement outlined.
GAA chiefs moved much quicker to announce the game’s postponement to ensure Clare supporters had not made the journey to Waterford as had occurred when the minor game between both counties was called off on Tuesday evening, twelve minutes before throw-in.
Terence Fahy’s side although unbeaten in both outings, need to collect their first win to keep aspirations of advancing alive.
Meanwhile, Brian O’Connell’s minor hurlers will be returning to Waterford on Friday. Their third round outing has been confirmed for a 7pm start.
