The Munster SFC final is upon us and it is the third consecutive time Kerry will face Clare. Kerry have come out on top in the last two finals with Clare hoping to avenge their last two defeats.

Kerry will be without a number of players due to injury and suspension for the clash. Clare last defeated Kerry in championship in the 1992 Munster final. Both sides have met in 14 Munster finals with Kerry winning 13 and Clare's sole success coming in 1992. This will be Jack O'Connor's 11th time leading Kerry to a Munster final and has won six of the previous 10 (2004, 2005, 2010, 2011, 2022, 2023, 2024), drawing two (2004, 2006) and losing one (2006).

Clare manager Peter Keane managed Kerry between 2019-2021 winning Munster titles in 2019 and 2021.

Will it third time lucky for Clare or will Kerry claim a third win in a row over the Banner and add their 86th title to the list of achievements.
