Clare chiefs begin trawl to replace Considine management team

CLARE intend to have a new hurling management in place “as soon as possible” following the majority agreement of clubs not to reappoint Tony Considine.

Nominations will be sought from the clubs — a process that’s already in train in relation to appointing a successor to Páidí Ó Sé — and a committee of eight will then make a recommendation to the county’s executive.

Five club representatives, chosen from the floor at Tuesday night’s meeting of the County Board, will be joined by three officers in reaching a decision on the new manager. Ultimately, the clubs will have the final say, board chairman Michael McDonagh pointed out yesterday.
