Clonlara captain Cormac O'Donovan has praised the influence of their manager ahead of Sunday's Clare Senior Hurling Championship final clash with Sixmilebridge.
Bridge legend Sean Stack takes charge of Clonlara against his native parish, bidding to win just their third ever county title.
The south east Clare men boast a number of county stars in their squad, with players like Colm Galvin, Domhnall O'Donovan, Cathal O'Connell and John Conlon available for selection.
O'Donovan says Stack has brought a renewed focus to the group.
Meanwhile Sixmilebridge captain Caimin Morey says they need to summon the spirit they showed when they were last crowned champions if they want to reclaim that crown.
Victory over neighbours Newmarket two years ago saw the Bridge win their 11th ever title, and Morey says they're eager to add to that tally.
