Clare hurling selector Louis Mulqueen says they're determined to get the Munster Championship off to a winning start.
Limerick provide the opposition in Thurles on Sunday, with a place in the Munster Semi Final against Tipperary at stake.
The Banner will be without 2013 All Star Conor McGrath who has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, while fellow All Stars Brendan Bugler, Colm Galvin and Podge Collins are all absent.
Meanwhile, Limerick have named their team for Sunday's clash.
Goalkeeper Barry Hennessy, wing back Seánie O’Brien and corner forward Cian Lynch are the three Championship debutants.
Nickie Quaid, David Breen, Kevin Downes and Wayne McNamara are all missing from the team that lost to Kilkenny in last year's All-Ireland semi-final.
