The captain of the Clare Senior Footballers says the addition of youth to the training panel has stepped up the intensity in preparing for Sunday's Munster Quarter Final.
The Banner make the short trip to face Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds, looking to reach the last four for a fifth straight year.
Kilmurry Ibrickane's Shane Hickey returned to the panel after the victorious league campaign, while a number of the minor and U21 squads were also called in to gain experience.
Clondegad's Gary Brennan says it's been a positive move.
Meanwhile Limerick forward Seanie Buckley is confident they can cause an upset on Sunday.
The Treatymen are still searching for their first win of 2016, having been relegated from Division Three of the League.
Buckley feels there won't be much between the sides.
