With the two top sides in Clare soccer and two of the top performing sides in the province doing battle, the final will attract plenty of interest.

As anticipation builds, The Water Break previews the Cup final. Páraic McMahon is joined by Bridge Utd boss Mark Culbert and ex Lifford FC manager Adrian Walsh to look ahead to the final.
