THIS week’s Intensive Clare podcast with The Clare Echo sees Eoin Brennan and James Lynch looking at the fortunes of Clare clubs in Munster.
Meanwhile, in soccer we preview the Clare Youths outing against the Limerick Desmond League while the FAI Junior Cup and CDSL league action are put in greater focus. In rugby, there was action in the AIL Women’s League for Ennis against Tullow and there were also mens victories for Ennis, St. Senan’s and Scariff. We have all that – and as always, much more.
