Cratloe manager Colm Collins says his side have lost the element of surprise as they continue their bid for three Clare Senior Football Championships in a row.
The south east Clare side won their first ever senior title in 2013, and successfully defended it as part of a historic double for the club last year.
Collins says it has led to his side being marked men as they take on Cooraclare this weekend for a place in the last eight.
That one underway in Clarecastle on Sunday at 6pm
Elsewhere Miltown will look to reach successive senior quarter finals this weekend when they take on Ennistymon.
Both sides overcame strong oppostion in round one, with Miltown accounting for Doonbeg while Ennistymon produced one of the shocks of the round when they beat Eire Óg.
However, Miltown manager Michael Neylon says it wasn't a result that took him by surprise
Those sides meet in Kilmihil on Sunday at 12.30pm
