Tomas O Se says Kerry will have to treat Clare with respect at Ennis on Sunday afternoon.

The Kingdom are red-hot favourites to progress to the Munster SFC final but former star O Se points out that the Banner have plenty of quality in their ranks:

"Believe me, Clare have five or six footballers that could make any team in the country," he writes in The Irish Independent. "I mean, I knew plenty about Gary Brennan before I met him. But I'm desperately trying to put a name to a face and I remember playing the Railway Cup in Armagh one year and I didn't actually know what Gary looked like.

"Now he's a serious footballer and, as I now know, a sounder man you could not meet. Ulster beat us this same day, but - for a while - Munster had them on the ropes. And the main reason we had them on the ropes? Gary Brennan's performance in the middle of the park.

"He just had this attitude of not giving a damn who Sean Cavanagh was or any of these other big names from Ulster. Gary just horsed into it and, inside, I remember David Tubridy having a great game too.

"There's no doubt in my mind that Brennan will give Kerry's midfield bucket-loads on Sunday." Tweet
