Shane O'Sullivan everyone wants to play at this level.

"It's a great place to be.

"If you start out the year and you look at where you want to go and you're in a Munster final, it's where everybody wants to be, every club hurler in Munster wants to play at that level."

He says their opposition has vast experience.

"Borris-Ileigh, looking at them this year, they're a really formidable side.

"They have All-Ireland winners all through the team from the full-back line all the way up to the full-forward line, vast experience, real spirit about them.

"We're under no illusions, whatever people would say, that the challenge that we're facing on Sunday is absolutely massive and we're looking forward to it."

Shane O'Sullivan says it's a huge game for them.

"It's massive for the club because we have been knocking on the door for a long time in Munster and we've won one out of maybe four, five, six over the past ten to fifteen years which is not a good record.

"It's a really big game for us to try to get another victory and maybe to copperfasten our opportunity as one of the good teams that have been around Munster in the last few years."

Sunday's game will be broadcast live on WLR thanks to George Corbett Skoda with commentary team of Tomás McCarthy and Eoin Murphy. Throw in is at 2 pm.
