Flanagan keen for Clara to clear Leinster hurdle

FEW people would be more deserving of a provincial club title this winter as Clara native and senior football manager Pat Flanagan.

Sixteen years ago he was a player with the club when they fell agonisingly short of the Leinster title against Thomas Davis thanks to the Dublin side’s goalkeeper’s save in a last minute one-on-one.

The winning margin in that final? Two points.
