David Clifford says Kerry are coming up against “a very difficult” opponent in Clare this weekend.
The Kingdom will look to claim a third Munster senior football championship title in-a-row (and 84th overall) on Sunday when they face the Banner men at the TUS Gaelic Grounds (4pm).
Speaking at SuperValu's launch of the All-Ireland SFC, Clifford said he was familiar with many of the Clare players from his UL days and expects a tough battle in Limerick in three days’ time.
"(Eoin) Cleary, I played with him in UL, Emmett McMahon, Daniel Walsh, Ciaran Downes and a few fellas like that. They are serious footballers," said last year's Footballer of the Year.
"UL has been the main feeder for them, but other colleges as well. It gives fellas a chance to realise they can do it amongst the best.
"Clare are a very difficult opponent. We've always had good battles with them, in some of the games, maybe pulled away towards the end. We've been lucky enough to get goals in a lot of those games coming down the stretch. We expect it to be a very tough task. We're well aware of the dangers that they bring."
