An eight-time All Ireland winner with Kilkenny feels Clare are in a much better place this year as the countdown continues to Sunday’s All Ireland hurling semi-final.
It will be the second year in succession that the sides will meet at this stage of the championship, with the Cats being comfortable winners when the sides met 12 months ago.
Clare’s last appearance in the All Ireland final came 10 years ago, with five of the side who featured the day set to be involved in Sunday’s game.
Kilkenny legend Eddie Brennan is warning the Leinster champions will need to be ready for a stern test, and feels last years game is a hurt that Clare will use in a positive manner.
Throw in on Sunday afternoon is at 4pm with commentary on Clare FM with Matt Waters Clare Fruit & Veg, and Geraghty’s Spar and Off License, Turnpike Ennis.
