Down forward John Clarke is relishing the chance to take on Kerry in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final this weekend.
Sunday night's draw saw Down drawn against the reigning All-Ireland champions and Clarke, who scored 1-1 during the qualifier win over Sligo on Saturday, admits that facing the Kingdom is something the team will look forward to.
However, he is aware that the Mournemen will need to be at their very best if they are to have any chance of defeating Jack O'Connor's side.
"Obviously it's a tough draw, probably the toughest we could have got," Clarke admitted in the Irish News.
"We want to pit ourselves against Kerry and it will be a good test for us and one we will look forward to.
"Kerry are the best in Ireland at the minute so it will be a big challenge for us."
