Clare v Mayo – Cusack Park – 1:45 pm – GAAGO
Clare will go head-to-head with Connacht champions Mayo in the first division 2 semi-final in an attempt to determine who will book their place in the Allianz Football League Division 2 final.
Mayo is coming into the game with a perfect unbeaten record, beating Meath and Down comfortably before being put to the sword by a valiant Westmeath team.
Clare on the other hand has had a good campaign, only losing to Cork before beating Laois and shockingly defeating Jack O’Connor’s Kildare.
Mayo should have enough to get over the line, but Clare will be no pushovers.
