Waterford footballers travel to Ennis this evening as they face a formidable Clare side in the Munster Senior football Championship Quarter-Final.
The Déise come into the game on the back of a positive Division 4 league campaign, which included three straight wins.
Clare surived in Division 2, following a final round victory over Tipperary.
The Banner have been ultra-competitive in recent seasons making great progress under Colm Collins and playing on home soil, they will be fancied to set up a semi-final date with defending champions Kerry.

Best of Luck to Benji Whelan, his management team and all the panel! #deiseabú
