Clare have no choice but to go all out ahead of their meeting with Limerick in the Liberty Insurance All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship according to manager, Patricia OโGrady.
Both sides lost out in their opening games, Galway defeated Clare by ten points while Limerick were eleven points adrift from Kilkenny. Patricia OโGrady told The Clare Echo that her side are ready to be targeted by their neighbours.
โTheyโll be targeting us, weโll be number one target. It didnโt matter who we were meeting next week on the back of a first round defeat you have no other choice, you have to go gung ho. Itโs probably going to be an added incentive for Limerick to come and take us but weโd be saying the exact same if theyโd won the first round. Now both of us are coming and weโre going to have to scrap very hard for two pointsโ.
After receiving a red card on Saturday, Eimear Kelly is set to miss out while Inagh/Kilnamonaโs Aoife Keane has been ruled out through injury. Both girls won Ashbourne Cup medals with UL this year.
โAoife Keane is not in contention owing to her injury. We have to see what sheโs (Eimear Kelly) cited for really. Straight red I thought was a bit harsh but itโs ultimately what sheโs going to be cited for, I saw it, I saw a few of them in the game but she was the one that got caught. Weโll see what she was cited for, I donโt believe there was massive intent or dangerous play in it but weโll see what sheโs cited forโ.
O’Garney Park in Sixmilebridge hosts the game which throws in at 5pm on Saturday.
