Michael Quinlivan says Clonmel Commericals will not steer away from their brand of football when they meet Ballyboden in the first of Saturday's All-Ireland club SFC semi-finals.

The Tipperary champions surpassed all expectations last November when Quinlivan's last-gasp goal stunned Nemo Rangers for the Premier County's first Munster crown and after having seen off London's Tir Chonaill Gaels a few weeks later, Charlie McGeever's men now face their biggest test to date this weekend in Portlaoise.

"I don't think there is any hiding place now anyway anymore," Quinlivan told the Irish Examiner.

"We announced ourselves at this stage having beaten Nemo and gone away to London and done that as well. We play a style of football that is our own, it's actually pretty similar to Nemo's and a lot of people saw that in the game.

"We'll try and impose that on Ballyboden and whether or not that works we'll see and try and nullify them as well."

Throw-in at O'Moore Park is at 4.30pm.
