McDermott gets fitness guru McGurn on Banner backroom team

CLARE senior football boss Michéal McDermott has secured the services of renowned fitness coach Mike McGurn for the 2011 season.

McGurn was involved in a peripheral role with the county last season and also assisted McDermott during Kilmurry-Ibrickane’s run to the All-Ireland club senior football decider last March.

His extensive CV includes stints with the Irish rugby team, the Irish International Rules squad and the Armagh senior footballers and his availability is a major coup for the Banner setup.
