Ballygunner will be aiming to qualify for their first ever All-Ireland Club Senior hurling Championship Final this evening.

The Waterford champions take on six-time winners, Ballyhale Shamrocks in a much anticipated last four clash at Semple Stadium.

The Gunners claimed their first ever five in a row in Waterford, before going on to lift their second Munster title last November with an impressive win over Na Piarsaigh.

The Kilkenny champions will be backboned by a number of inter-county stars, and they overcame Ballyboden St. Enda's in the Leinster Final.
