Clare will name their team later this morning for Sunday’s Munster hurling championship clash with Tipperary.
It is expected there will be changes from the side that beat Waterford last weekend with Tony Kelly understood to be in line for a first start of the year.
A third consecutive Munster final is the prize on offer for the Banner if they win or draw the game, with the home side in Semple Stadium already eliminated from the championship.
Clare FM analyst and former championship winner with Ballyea, Kevin Sheehan, says Clare will look to improve the way in which they see games out.
