The man who kicked the winning point in Clare's Allianz National Football League victory has challenged his team mates to continue raising the bar.
The Banner came from 3 points down in injury time to beat Kildare by 2-17 to 1-19 in Croke Park and claim the Division 3 League title.
Dean Ryans late goal tied the game as the clock ticked into the red, with Miltown's Eoin Cleary cooly slotting a 75th minute free to seal the win.

Meanwhile, midfielder Cathal O'Connor says he hopes the win will serve as a motivation for further development of the game in the county.
It's the first time the Banner have claimed a National League title in what was just Clare's fourth appearance in Croke Park since 1992.
The Coolmeen man, who has struck up a formidable midfield partnership with captain Gary Brennan, says the focus will now turn toward the Munster championship opener against Limerick in just over a months time.
