Munster Minor Hurling Championship - Useful Information
Clare are contesting their 4th Munster Minor Final in a row and looking for the third Munster title on the trot.
Clare have won 4 Munster Minor Hurling titles in their history - 1981, 1989, 2010 and 2011.
The last county to win 3 Munster Minor Hurling titles in a row was the Cork teams from 2004 to 2006. The 3 winning Cork captains on those occasions were Shane O'Neill (2004), Patrick Cronin (2005) and Pat Horgan (2006).
Clare are the defending Munster Minor Hurling Champions following a 1-20 to 3-9 victory over Waterford at Pairc Ui Chaoimh in the 2011 Final. Four of that Clare Minor Hurling team played in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Qualifier victory over Dublin last Saturday evening, namely Seadhna Morey, Tony Kelly, Aaron Cunningham and Colm Galvin.
Tipperary have won the Munster Minor Hurling title once since 2003, a 0-18 to 1-11 victory over Cork at Semple Stadium Thurles. The Munster Final winning team included current Tipperary Senior panelists Padraic Maher, John Coghlan, Michael Cahill, Noel McGrath, Brendan Maher (Captain), Patrick (Bonner) Maher and John O'Neill. Tipperary subsequently won the 2007 All-Ireland Minor Hurling title with a 3-14 to 2-11 victory over Cork.
If Tipperary fail to secure the 2012 Munster Minor Hurling title, it will be the first time since 1973 that Tipperary have gone 5 successive years without a Provincial Minor Hurling crown. In that period, Tipperary failed to win a Munster Minor Hurling title from 1963 through 1972, a period which subsequently mirrored a period of famine years at Munster Senior Hurling Championship level from 1974 to 1982.
