Clare will name their teams later for Sunday’s Munster Hurling double header in Cusack Park.

It’s the first time a senior provincial championship game will be played in Ennis for 20 years as Waterford provide the opposition for the Banner on both counts.

Changes are expected to the line up of the Clare senior and minor teams from last weekends defeats in Pairc ui Chaoimh while Waterford will be without the services of Austin Gleeson and Pauric Mahony for their championship opener.
