Dylan Ward reckons there is less pressure on Kilcoo to win Sunday's Ulster club SFC final against Naomh Conaill than there was in 2016 when they came up short against Slaughtneil.

Speaking to the Irish News, the young attacker maintained: "It's different this time. I felt like there was a lot of pressure on us the last time. Slaughtneil were the team to beat, they were the best about and I felt very pressured, people were telling us 'this is a big, big game'.

"But this time both teams haven't won it before and they have nothing to lose. You're going out to play football so just enjoy yourself. I don't feel much pressure, it's more excitement.

"Playing football is all about enjoying it and when you are (enjoying it) you're going to play well. I think we're a lot more confident in ourselves as a team this year."
