Kiladangan go into the Munster senior club hurling championship for the first time ever this weekend.

The 2023 Dan Breen winners welcome Clare champions Clonlara to Semple Stadium at 2pm on Sunday.

The winners will take on the winners of Limerick’s Na Piarsaigh and Waterford’s Ballygunner in this year’s decider.

Kiladangan won the Dan Breen Cup back in 2020 by no provincial championship was played that year.

Manager John O’Meara says while his side might lack Munster experience, they’ve played plenty of big games in recent times:

“The group themselves are experienced enough.

“They may not have played in the Munster club championship before but they’ve played in numerous important games down through the years and this is no different, it’s just another match.

“Obviously it’s a Munster competition, they’re representing Tipperary and that’s something that they want to do and they want to do well but it’s just another match.

“We’re looking to try get our best performance of the year out of ourselves on Sunday and the experience that lads have got over the years competing in the business end of the championship in Tipperary has them well prepared for that on Sunday.”
