Kilkenny minor manager, Niall Bergin
Kilkenny face Clare in today's All-Ireland minor semi-final in FBD Semple Stadium in Thurles at 1pm.
The last four clash will be a repeat of the 2023 affair between the two counties when Clare beat the Cats before going on to win the Irish Press Cup a couple of weeks later.
Speaking to the Kilkenny People Sport Podcast ahead of today's clash, Kilkenny manager Niall Bergin said, "From our perspective we're looking for a performance, if we hit the targets we've worked towards we'll be there or thereabouts at the end but Clare have had a fine season," adding, " we've done plenty of work, we have every faith and confidence in the lads."
