Clare boss Davy Fitzgerald is predicting another battle of wits between the Banner and Waterford in this afternoons Munster Hurling Semi Final.
It's the third time the sides have met in the space of 5 weeks, after two epic encounters in the National Hurling League Finals.
John Conlon and Oisin O'Brien have both been passed fit to face the Deise and there's a further boost as David McInerney and Aaron Cunningham will also be on the matchday panel.
The Clonlara duo of Conlon & O'Brien come into the side as the only two changes from the side that beat the Deise in the League Final replay just over a month ago.
The Sixmilebridge man feels the winner will be whoever can impose their game plan most effectively.
Throw in at Semple Stadium this afternoon is at 4pm, live commentary here on Clare FM in association with Matt Waters Clare Fruit and Veg Market & Donie O'Keeffe Champion Meats Turnpike Road Ennis.
The intermediate clash between the two counties will get the days action underway in Thurles at 2pm, while we will be crossing live to Thurles after this bulletin to bring you a flavour of the atmosphere.
