The Clare senior hurlers have dismissed their favourites tag ahead of Sunday’s Munster Championship clash with Cork.
The Banner haven’t reached the provincial decider since 2008, but are favoured to bring that five-year wait to an end this weekend against a Cork team they have already beaten three times this year.
However, forward Conor McGrath says the Rebels have a level of experience that Clare cannot match, and is expecting a tough Championship test from Jimmy Barry Murphy’s men.
Meanwhile, Westmeath’s Barry Kelly has been named as referee for Sunday’s game.
In what hopefully is not a bad omen for Clare, he was the man in the middle for the sides’ Munster Championship Semi-Final of 2006, which Cork won by six points.
