TCC are coming off a stunning come-from-behind 26-8 win over Ignatius Park last week. They also scored an impressive 30-nil win over St Pat’s in their opening fixture.

Busby said today’s focus areas would be on minimising mistakes, getting the momentum and containing Kirwan’s big forward.

“We’ll be out there giving it a red-hot crack, that’s for sure,” he said.

“The boys know what they have to do and if they’re good enough on the day they can do it.

“It’s about maintaining pressure against a good side like Kirwan.

“Defence, as always for us, is the key. If we can hold them then anything is possible.”

Busby said he had talent across the board and his players were up for the challenge against Kirwan.

“With every team we play this year, they’ll know that they’ve been in a game against us and hopefully we can come out on top,” he said.

“We’re not daunted by them at all; we respect them and how great their side is but we don’t fear them.”
