Galway and Portumna star Joe Canning is expecting a tough game when his club side take on Mount Leinster Rangers in today's All Ireland club hurling final.

Portumna are among the greatest club hurling sides of all time, having won the All-Ireland final in 2006, 2008 and 2009 and face a Mount Leinster Rangers side playing in their first Club Final.

Rangers have been the surprise package in this year's competition, having become the first Carlow side to win the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship last December. 

But despite the disparity in experience, Canning still envisages a "huge battle"...

 Throw in at Croke Park is from 2pm.
