Clare forward David Reidy expects a “a blockbuster game” when the Banner men face Kilkenny in tomorrow evening’s Allianz Hurling League final at Semple Stadium (7.15pm).

Brian Lohan’s men will be out to maintain their unbeaten form in this year’s competition and land a first Division 1 crown for the Banner County in eight years.

Speaking to GAA.ie this week ahead of the league decider, Reidy said that it’s the perfect game for the group heading into what is set to be another hugely competitive Munster championship.

"We met Kilkenny earlier on in the year at home in Cusack Park so it’s something to look forward to so close to championship – a championship kind of feel before going into the Munster championship,” he stated.

“It’s a massive game for us as players, the Kilkenny players, for both sets of supporters. It’s going to be high intensity, the tackles are going to be made, it’s going to be a blockbuster game.

“It’s the preparation for that to bring forward, our week will be train tonight, play a match on Saturday, recover on Sunday and then we’re back into preparation stage for two weeks’ time.

“So, it definitely won’t do us any harm winning on Saturday.”
