As the 2010 Clare Senior Hurling Final draws nearer, nerves and anticipation are beginning to grow in Cratloe and Crusheen.
For the 2009 Champions Cratloe, Sunday represents a chance for them to hold onto the Canon Hamilton. And after Saturday’s semi-final replay win over Clonlara, Mike Deegan’s side will be full of confidence going into the decider at Cusack Park.
Unlike their opponents, Crusheen have never tasted success in the Clare Senior championship, while they’ve also had an extra week to prepare for the match.
Ciarán O’Doherty is expected to be one of their key players this weekend – he has told Clare FM that he expects this to have both benefitsdrawbacks.
