Crusheen boss John Carmody says his side will have to be at their best if they're to get back to Clare hurlings biggest day.
They fell at the final hurdle in 2014, losing to Cratloe in the decider, their third time to contest the final since 2010.
They now face 2013 champions Sixmilebridge in Sunday's semi final, and Carmody says they're a side that will provide his men with a huge challenge

This weekend's other semi final sees Kilmaley going up against Clonlara.
Clonlara haven't been in the final since losing to Cratloe in 2009, with their last title coming the previous year.
Kilmaley meanwhile last claimed the Canon in 2004, which was also their last appearance in the final.
