Dermot Coughlan and his management have named the Clare Under 20 side to take on Kerry at Austin Stack Park in Tralee in Wednesday night's Dalata Hotel Group Munster Under 20 football championship deciders. The Banner introduce Ennistymon's Louie Griffin to their defence and welcome the full return from injury of Conor Hill at left back .
It's a winner takes all tie between the two teams who have had mixed fortunes in Phase Two of the competition. The Kingdom were outstanding when accounting for 2-27 in a facile first round win over Waterford at Leamybrien but were pipped by neighbours, Cork by the minimum a week later. Clare, qualifying on the back of a 100% record in an impressive Phase One campaign were unlucky to leave Quilty with a share of the spoils (1-10 apiece) against Cork a fortnight ago but were themselves hauled back by a late Waterford rally a week later in Kilmihil and defeated by 2-14 to 2-13. It all means that Wednesday’s tussle has a real championship edge.
