McDermott keen to stay

MICHEÁL McDERMOTT is waiting for the Clare County Board call to take charge of the senior football team for another year.

“If the county board does ask me (to stay on for another) year I would have to consider it because I enjoyed it and it would be hard to walk away,” he said after Saturday’s All-Ireland Qualifier loss to Offaly.

“I firmly believe that the bunch of players, if they give it a real go and have a bit of belief in themselves, could go places. It was myself who asked for a one-year term in charge of the team. Now at the end of the year we have to sit back and ultimately it’s for the Clare County Board to decide if they were happy or not with where Clare football is at the end of 2010. They’re (Clare GAA) the employers and they’re how I have to answer too.
