Kerry's Darran O'Sullivan is in no doubt that Sunday's All-Ireland SFC quarterfinal will be much closer that the Munster semi-final clash between the pair.

On that occasion, Kerry had two goals on the board in the opening ten minutes and they kept that distance and more between their opponents for the remainder of the match.

Many have predicted a similar result on Sunday, but O'Sullivan states in the Kerryman that they are predicting a much tighter affair.

"I genuinely believe they're going to be a good test. Colm Collins has them playing with a lot of confidence, they've no fear, they've a good bit of momentum going so it's going to be tricky," said O'Sullivan.

"I suppose Clare could feel aggrieved about the last day. We got a couple of early goals and they'll think they got off on the wrong foot, but they've improved since then and hopefully we have improved too.

"They've momentum no fear, they're in an All-Ireland quarterfinal in Croke Park and on an upward curve so I don't think they'll have been too worried about who they are playing."
