Clare's Brendan Buglar has been suspended for two matches after his sending off against Dublin last weekend.

Buglar appealed his dismissal, but the Central Hearings Committee found that the evidence provided was not sufficiently compelling to contradict the referee's report.

Clare travel to Kilkenny on Sunday knowing that a win could see them into the quarter-finals but a defeat would condemn them to a relegation play-off against the Cats.
