BRING them on!
The days when clubs get to walk behind Tulla’s pipe band. County final days in hurling and football, the pairings of which have now been decided.
First serving will be Wolfe Tones and Newmarket-on-Fergus an intraparish final you could call it. You see, old Rineanna used to be in Newmarket parish. Rineanna stands on its own now; now to see who stands tallest on October 22.
Then it will be time for the first mid-Clare football final since Ennis Dalcassians and Clarecastle Emmets clashed in the 1899 final. Éire Óg v Lissycasey. Anybody’s game. All county finals are.
Bring them on, band and all.
