The resurrection of Dr Crokes colliding with the improved again reigning champions. One corner determined to reestablish their footprint outside county bounds. The other corner determined to further expand their footprint beyond county bounds.

With the greatest of respect to Adare, Éire Óg Ennis, Loughmore-Castleiney, and Rathgormack, Sunday’s lunchtime clash of Crokes and Castlehaven is the Munster final. It may wear the clothes of a provincial quarter-final, but don’t be fooled by appearance or labels.
