The captain of the Clare Senior Footballers has warned they'll have to be at their best if they are to claim two valuable league points against Limerick on Sunday.
Colm Collins side would all but secure their Division Three status with a win in Newcastlewest, while consigning the Shannonsiders to a relegation battle.
The Banner will be without both David Tubridy and Ciaran Russell through injury, but could have Kilmurry Ibrickane's Enda Coughlan available after he returned from a cruciate ligament injury to come off the bench for his club last weekend.
Clondegad's Gary Brennan says battles between Clare and Limerick are traditionally tight affair, and he expects more of the same this weekend.
