Clare defender Jamie Malone has revealed that the mood in the camp ahead of the Munster SFC clash against Kerry is very good.

The Banner have managed to put in decent performances against the Kingdom in recent years, without actually recording an elusive win.

However, Malone feels that they have nothing to fear in Cusack Park, Ennis and he added to the Clare Champion that they were focusing on their own game.

“We have been exposed to a really high level of football in Division 2 over the last few years and that has been really enjoyable,” said Malone.

“We are not really thinking about what gear Kerry might hit during the game, we are just worried about ourselves and making sure we are in top gear.

“We know when we play to our maximum we are a match for anyone and on the other side of the coin, when we don’t play well, we are not, so the challenge for us is getting the pitch of the performance that is needed.

“If we bring the right attitude, work rate and quality of football, that is all we can control, so that is what we will be looking at. We have to just work hard to reach the standards we set for ourselves and not get wrapped up in what Kerry might do.”
