Galway Manager Anthony Cunningham says Clare are an up and coming team that will be hard to beat on Sunday.
The neighbours meet in the All Ireland Quarter final in Semple Stadium in a double header with Kilkenny and Cork.
Clare have wins over Laois and Wexford under their belt, while last years all ireland finalists Galway are looking to make the banner men victims of a response to their Leinster final hammering from Anthony Daly’s Dublin.
Meanwhile,
Cork could be without experienced defender Shane O’Neill for Sundays all Ireland quarter final against Kilkenny in Thurles.
The former All Ireland winner has a hip injury and according to the Irish Examiner only has a 50-50 chance of being fit to start.
The Rebels are already with Brian Murphy who has a broken collarbone.
Staying with hurling, it’s a big night as Waterford take on Limerick in the Electric Ireland Munster minor final re-play.
Throw in at Semple Stadium is at 7.30.
