All Star nominee Peter Duggan feels Ballyea are in a prime position to reach this years Clare Senior Hurling Final.
The 2016 Munster champions go up against an O’Callaghan’s Mills side who are appearing at this stage for the first time in 21 years.
It’s understood there are no new injury concerns for Ballyea after Clondegad exited the football championship last weekend.
Duggan saw his season with Clooney/Quin come to an end at the hands of the east Clare side a fortnight ago but he feels a much stronger performance will be needed this time around.
