Cork v Clare - LIVE GAA updates from All-Ireland Hurling ...
Hurling fans are in for a treat this afternoon as two brilliant matches are throwing in at 2pm in both the Munster and Leinster Hurling Championships.
At Pairc Ui Chaoimh, Cork and Clare are staring down an early exit from the Championship after defeats in their opening games last weekend.
The Rebels were poor in their three-point loss to Waterford, while Clare let a commanding lead slip before going down to reigning All-Ireland champions and provincial kingpins Limerick.
The loser of this match will have zero points after two games - a position only one team (Cork in 2022) has escaped from in the four previous editions of the round-robin. The game will be streamed live on GAA GO and can be watched with a subscription.
We will also be following action from the Leinster Championship as Galway and Kilkenny continue their long-standing rivalry at Pearse Stadium.
In what could prove to be a dress rehearsal for the provincial final, Galway come into this off the back of making hard work of a 2-25 to 2-14 victory over Carlow last time out.
Kilkenny, meanwhile, trounced Antrim 5-30 to 0-13 at Nowlan Park in the opening match.
15:38KEY EVENT
Robert Downey with a late goal for Cork but it was too little too late for the Rebels who have fallen to another defeat. It's a crucial win for the Banner in a thrilling contest.
15:36KEY EVENT
Galway captain Conor Whelan comes up with a big moment to hit the equalising score before the full-time whistle. These sides could well be meeting again at Croke Park in a Leinster final.
