The Ballymacarbry ladies are back in action on Sunday as they face Cork champions Mourneabbey in the Munster quarter final.

Mike Guiry's charges completed 41 county titles in a row last weekend with victory over Comeragh Rangers.

Mourneabbey prevailed by 16 points last year but Ballymac defender Mairéad Wall can't wait to take on the reigning provincial champions.

"They're an outstanding team. They've been All Ireland champions and All Ireland finalists. We're striving to get closer to them. We've done so much this year to improve our own game. We're looking forward to the challenge on Sunday. To be the best, you have to beat the best first! We're going to give it everything."

Mike Guiry took over from Michael Ryan as manager this season. Wall says that he is getting the best out of the team. "He is a cool and calm manager. As the year has gone on, we've been clicking a little bit better. Our county final performance was our best performance so far this year. They seem to be getting things right and hopefully, we're peaking at the right time."

Throw in is at 1 o'clock on Sunday at Clyda Rovers GAA. Hear more from Mairéad Wall on Lár Na Páirce from 6.10.
