Naas captain Brian Byrne has insisted they won't be content to simply make up the numbers against Ballyhale Shamrocks at Croke Park, a ground that has been good to them lately.

Naas, the reigning All-Ireland intermediate club hurling champions, will face last season's senior runners up, star studded Ballyhale, on Sunday week.
