Clare Hehir has been named as the new captain of the Clare senior camogie team.

While all the indications are that it will be some time yet before competition returns for many sports, Clare camogie will be ready to go once the green light is given.
Leaders will be required in abundance as Clare prepare to take on Limerick in Sunday’s Munster SHC qualifier, David Fitzgerald is hopeful to be chief among them for the men in saffron and blue.
Clare’s U20 hurlers have been dealt a massive blow ahead of their Munster quarter-final next Monday with star player Aidan McCarthy to miss the tie through injury.
Not even the inclement weather could dampen down the real homecoming as Inagh-Kilnamona eased into a third Munster Senior Camogie Final in four seasons in Inagh on Sunday afternoon.
For Sixmilebridge goalkeeper Derek Fahy, the team’s joint captain, Sunday’s championship victory was “a very proud moment”.
