Kilmihil manager Brian Dillon feels the pressure is off his side as they prepare for the Munster intermediate club football quarter-final.
After claiming their county title with victory over Kilrush, the West Clare side go to West Cork to face Kilnamartrya on Sunday afternoon.
Kilmihil reached the final of this competition in 2008, and face a potential home semi-final against David Clifford’s Fossa should they come away from Cork with the victory.
Dillon says after a long break, they are ready to get back to competitive action.
Throw in on Sunday afternoon is at 1.30pm.
