BANNER LADIES will vie for Munster glory this Sunday as they take on Waterford giants, Ballymacarbry.
A county final win over Kilmihil saw Banner Ladies claim their thirteenth senior county title and this weekend they will line out in their fourth senior provincial decider, having beaten Tipperary side Fethard in the semi-final.
Attempts to push back the final a week to allow Laurie Ryan line out for Athlone Town and Banner Ladies proved unsuccessful.
Apart from the loss of the talented Ryan, JJ O’Dea expects to have a full panel of players to pick from.
Ballymacarbry have won 41 county titles in a row but have not won the Munster title since 2000. Both sides are eager to take the title with Cork side Mourneabbey already eliminated.
Mallow is the venue for Sunday’s final which commences at 3pm.
