Mark Fitzgerald has named his Clare Senior Football side that will take on Kerry in this Sunday’s Munster GAASenior Football Final in Ennis.

Daniel Walsh and Micheal Garry have both recovered from injury and been named to an otherwise unchanged squad from the side that beat Waterford in the semi final.

This will be a 13th Munster SFC Final meeting involving these two counties.

Clare's only victory was a famous triumph way back in 1992.

Before that the Banner hadn't defeated Kerry in championship fare since 1949, however it's been a satisfying campaign so far for Clare under Mark Fitzgerald.

Jack O'Connor's talented Kerry overcame a shaky start to defeat Cork in the penultimate round.
