Antrim’s National Hurling League Division 1B game against Clare will now be played in Cushendall on Sunday [13:00, live on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport NI website].
The fixture was initially due to be played in Dunloy, but the recent spell of wet weather with further rain forecast has resulted in concerns whether the surface at Pearse Park would be playable.
Instead, the game moves to the Glens where there are pitch inspections planned for Páirc Naomh Mhuire on over the weekend if deemed necessary.
Antrim will go into the game against the 2024 All-Ireland champions hoping to put their opening round defeat to Wexford behind them.
Davy Fitzgerald’s side led by two points in added time at Wexford Park in the opener when a late free for the hosts was brought forward and rifled to the net by Wexford goalkeeper Mark Fanning to snatch the win.
Clare opened their campaign with a 3-18 to 1-22 victory thanks to a stoppage time goal from Tony Kelly.
The last time Antrim and Clare met was a league fixture at Corrigan Park in 2021 when they Saffrons claimed a 1-21 to 0-22 victory.
