Will be a good enough match. Limerick has slightly improved in division four but sadly nothing major. Clare had a solid enough division 2 campaign, Clare done very well in the championship last year also. Gary Brennan was excellent with another few playing well last year. Going for a Clare win. They are a good team that could be up and coming in Munster alike to Tipperary, also the fact they are playing at home.
Clare 3+

i would go along with everything you have said - its a young mostly in experienced limerick side, i think we have a chance but i would still be predicting a clare win - but i think limerick will be competitive, got some good young lads and we were very competitive against them last year.

for those who think its all about the all ireland and dublin kerry mayo, it isn't for us sunday is our all ireland final its a massive game for us, i hope we get a good travelling limerick support (i dont expect we will though) , big weekend of limerick sport with musnter in pro12 final

best of luck lads, comon limerick

All our best footballers are playing soccer and rugby instead unfortunately but we've had decent underage recently so hopefully things are looking up.

If Limerick turn up they will give Clare a game. Even last year it was an open game Limerick could have won it only for Clare to get vital scores.
Never write off Limerick in football they are capable of an upset.
I expect Clare to win but not easy and without a scrap.

Be shocked if Limerick win to be honest. Clare should be looking to make a statement here. Clare by 7 plus

Clare survived in Div 2 ahead of some very good sides. Limerick finished 4th in Div 4, but only losing to the top 3 teams Westmeath, Wexford & Carlow.

Hard to see anything other than a Clare win here, but will be close enough. Limerick are not as bad as the league form shows.

Form says Clare but I'm going to throw Limerick into my accum. I'd be surprised if there's more than a few points in it either way

unfortunately its not the 00's anymore
Clare on a different level to Limerick nowadays
Heart says Limerick, head says Clare by 5

Just to say tho, when Limerick have a fully fit unit, their inside forward line has huge potential
Ian Ryan, S O'Carroll, Ger Collins with Jamie Lee on the bench is very very decent and as good as Limerick have had in a long time

better side won - limerick played well and hung in there - clare missed some goal chances eased off a little near end- reasonable crowd - around 3500-4000 inc kids ,we have a very inexperienced side so this game will give us hope for first round of qualifiers.
