All-Ireland champions Ballygunner and Limerick's Na Piarsaigh are gearing up for a heavyweight clash this Sunday in Limerick.
The sides clash in the Munster Club Senior hurling Championship semi-final.
The Gunners had seventeen points to spare over Kilruane MacDonaghs in the Quarter-Final as they started their All-Ireland defence in style.
Speaking to WLR Sport, former Ballygunner attacker Andy Moloney is expecting a big battle.
"Ballygunner are coming in as the reigning All-Ireland champions. The lads are ready and more than prepared for this game. They know the opposition in front of them because they've met them on many occasions in Munster previously. Na Piarsaigh are a formidable outfit."
Moloney believes the game will be won and lost in midfield - and he reckons Paddy Leavy will be perfectly suited to taking on Limerick and Na Piarsaigh star William O'Donoghue in the middle of the park.
"Paddy Leavy has great physicality - and with his physique, you'd say he's tailor-made to go toe-to-toe with Will O'Donoghue. That'll be a great battle between the two of those players because Paddy is young and he's well able to cover the ground."
The former Ballygunner and Deise forward believes there are a lot of similarities in the two sides in how they approach games.
"I think these two teams play very similarly - the ball to the man in the best position was definitely the case for Ballygunner against Kilruane, Peter Hogan had a chance to go for a goal and take the shot himself but he gave it to Patrick Fitzgerald and he put it in the net. When you have quality players like that and then they start playing as a team, they're fairly formidable. It's much harder to mark."
Throw-in on Sunday is at 3.15pm and WLR will bring you the game live thanks to George Corbett Skoda, with our commentary team Kieran O'Connor and Eoin Murphy.
