Ballyea manager Robbie Hogan says they won't be over awed by their opponents in Sunday's Munster Club Hurling Semi Final.
Thurles Sarsfields travel to Ennis to take on the Clare champions, with the Tipperary side likely to feature a number of the side that were involved in the 2016 All Ireland win for the Premier.
Ballyea are unlikely to be changed from the side that won their first ever Clare title less than a week ago with victory over Clonlara.
Hogan says while another stiff challenge awaits, he's confident they can meet it head on.
Meanwhile one of the Thurles backroom team insists they are not looking beyond Sunday's game as they bid for just a second ever provincial title.
The Tipperary side are favourites to claim that crown, and are joint favourites along with Galway champions St Thomas' to win the All Ireland title.
Selector Paddy McCormack says they've prepared well for the task they'll face.
Throw in on Sunday in Cusack Park is at 2pm, live commentary here on Clare FM in association with O'Sullivan and Hansbury Motors Kilrush Road Ennis.
