Clare board to appoint Lyons' successor within a month
Lyons, who had been in charge of the Banner for three years and had been involved as a selector with Ger Loughnane in 2000, said that he along with trainer Louis Mulqueen and selector Ger "Sparrow" O'Loughlin would not be seeking re-election citing a lack of success as the key reason for his decision.
County chairman Fr Michael McNamara last night said that the search for Lyons' replacement would begin immediately. "The clubs were set to nominate people for positions with the minor and U21 teams, so now they will also deal with the senior matter.
