Clara and Ballyhale Shamrocks will renew their rivalry next weekend following the draw for the Kilkenny senior hurling championship quarter-finals.

Monday night's last-eight draw has pitted 2015 All-Ireland club winners Ballyhale against Clara, who were county champions in the same year.

The sides shared four Tom Walsh Cup titles equally between them from 2012 to 2015 with Ballyhale beating the men in maroon in the 2014 decider.

Elsewhere, reigning champions O'Loughlin Gaels have been drawn against Erin's Own while this year's All-Ireland intermediate winners Carrickshock face James Stephens and Dicksboro meet Mullinavat.

The times and venues for all four quarter-finals have yet to be confirmed, but the games are expected to be played across Saturday, 30 September and Sunday, 1 October.
