Former Tipperary manager Liam Sheedy
Tipp boss Liam Sheedy expects Clare to come roaring out of the blocks for Sunday's Munster SHC semi-final in Pairc na nGael.
Sheedy's Premier County are strong favourites to prevail in this repeat of last year's provincial decider but the manager believes the Banner County will put their league woes behind them and click into championship gear:
"We are under no illusions at all as to what we face on Sunday. Clare will come with all guns blazing.
"They might not have had a good league campaign but Clare are always a championship side and they will come roaring at us on Sunday.
"They did it last year in the Munster final when they blitzed us in the second half. Only for John O'Brien's goal we were in trouble.
"We saw what Clare can do to you and we will have to be on guard on Sunday. We are taking nothing for granted. Only a top display will be good enough in Limerick."
