Sparrow enlists Chaplin to serve as Clare selector
The appointment of Chaplin, a former Clare senior and All-Ireland club winner with Sixmilebridge in 1996, follows on from the news that Shannon rugby player Fiach O’Loughlin is coming on board as the team’s physical trainer. O’Loughlin plans to unveil one more selector and the group plan to meet on St Stephen’s Day to draw up a panel.
Chaplin is highly respected within the county and is a brother of John and Christy ‘Rusty’ Chaplin, who were members of Clare’s All-Ireland winning senior panels in 1995 and 1997.
