Colm Collins says Clare will need to up their performance if they're to cause an upset against Kildare tomorrow evening.

Building on their promotion from Division 4 of the Allianz League and their spirited display against Kerry in the Munster SFC semi-final, the Banner hammered Carlow last weekend to set up a last 16 meeting with Jason Ryan's side at Cusack Park.

"There were a lot of things to like about Sunday's display, but there's also lots of things that we can improve on," the Clare manager said in the Clare Champion.

"We'll be focusing on tidying up those things this week. When you play against really strong teams, you won't get away with some of the mistakes we made against Carlow. But I think we have the capacity to tidy them up.

"We've an excellent bunch of players and they've done absolutely everything asked of them all year long.

"The home draw was important. We were going to be playing a decent side at this stage anyway, so the important thing was that we got the home draw. Hopefully, we'll have a good crowd there and we'll put in a good display and, hopefully, get the win." Tweet
