Kilmurry Ibrickane manager Aidan “Horse” Moloney feels his players deserve huge credit for steering themselves back to another county football final.
Sunday’s showdown with Eire Og marks a 12th final appearance in the last 20 years for the West Clare men, with three of the current squad having featured each year since their 2002 success.
Victory 12 months ago marked a first championship victory for a number of the players who will line out on Sunday, with the likes of David Sexton, Daniel Walsh and Andrew Shannon all making their senior breakthrough in recent years.
Moloney says having the elder statesmen to guide the younger players is real positive for the group.
Meanwhile Eire Óg’s Conal O’hAinifein says the bond among their squad is something that has helped them through to this year’s decider.
The county star says the journey the squad has been on together over the last few seasons has led to a positive atmosphere in their camp
