The 2021 Clare senior and intermediate football championships get underway this afternoon.
There are three ties down for decision in the top tier, with the feature game being a repeat of the 2019 final as holders Kilmurry Ibrickane take on Miltown.
It is the third consecutive championship meeting between the sides with Kilmurry coming out on top when they clashed in the opening round of the 2020 campaign.
Kilmurry manager Aidan Moloney says a huge test awaits his side
Meanwhile Miltown boss Michael Neylon feels there is an element of uncertainty facing every team ahead of the opening round.
The west Clare men already have silverware in the bag for 2021 after finishing top of the Cusack Cup standings to retain their title.
Neylon says championship is always the real test of form
