Clare's Oscar Traynor squad kick off their inter-provincial campaign this weekend.

Denis Hynes takes charge of the side for the first time as they welcome Kerry to Frank Healy Park on Sunday afternoon.

Clare secured a 6-0 win the last time the sides met , however, it wasn't enough to see them qualify from the group of the national phase on that occasion.

Clare FM analyst Jim Madden says it's a strong squad, with representation from clubs outside the county's traditional powerhouses.
