Fitzgerald relishing prospect of Collins link up with Clare

New Clare football coach Ephie Fitzgerald believes he is entering the Banner set-up at just the right time.

Corkman Fitzgerald, who led Ballylanders to the Limerick SFC title at the weekend, will take over from Paudie Kissane and he feels the progress made by Clare this year, coupled with the relative youth of the panel, leaves them well-placed to continue their upward trajectory.

“The job was advertised so I put my name forward and I met Colm Collins last week, so it has happened fairly quickly,” he said.
