CLARE’S ALL-IRELAND quarter-final versus Dublin is to be held at TUS Gaelic Grounds.
Brian Lohan’s side will take on Dublin the quarter-final on Saturday at 4pm in what forms a double header with the meeting of Tipperary and Galway taking place at 6:15pm.
It will be Clare’s first outing since losing the Munster final to Limerick at the same venue by a single point.
Dublin though they trailed to Carlow at half-time in the weekend’s preliminary quarter-final ended up recording a 2-25 0-21 win.
Saturday’s tie will mark the first meeting of Clare and Dublin in the All-Ireland SHC since 2012, on that occasion they met in Cusack Park when former Clare teammates Davy Fitzgerald and Anthony Daly were in charge of the respective counties and a youthful Tony Kelly made his senior championship debut and ended up slotting a winning goal as they prevailed 1-16 0-16.
