Clare football boss Colm Collins feels the squad are enjoying competing at a high level in National Football League.

Clare led by 2-7 to 0-3 at half time, but managed just 0-4 after the restart.
Collins says it something they will have to work on ahead of a trip to Galway in two weeks time.
Meanwhile Clare could be without Sean Collins for that game after the Cratloe man came off in the second half with a hamstring problem.
Elsewhere in Division 2, Galway overcame Fermangh, Kildare defeated Cork and Meath were comfortable winners over Derry.
