Kilmurry will be determined not to repeat the errors of last week, especially now that captain Odhran O'Dwyer is available after recovering from a heavy knock picked up in that game.

Stradbally have been boosted by the availability of George Walsh. He received a straight red card in the Munster semi-final win over Bishopstown, and served his one-match ban last week.

Walsh's absence for last Sunday forced coach Sean Aherne to move Michael Walsh from the full-forward line to midfield, where he starred for the Decies, but the Waterford hurler in likely to begin back in attack today.

There has been a change of location for today's game - which could play a crucial role in the destination of the title.

Last Sunday's game was played in Semple Stadium, which made for a wide, open game, where Stradbally's forwards had the freedom to roam and set up chances on the wing.

Today's game will take place in Kilmallock, a tighter pitch, which calls for a tougher, more physical approach, which could favour the Clare champions.
