Banner boss happy with squad

CLARE football boss Micheal McDermott has dismissed suggestions that last year’s All-Ireland club finalists Kilmurry-Ibrickane are under represented on the current county senior football panel.

Defender Martin McMahon was the only player from Kilmurry-Ibrickane involved with the Clare setup in Sunday’s NFL Division 4 opener against Leitrim in Carrick-on-Shannon.

Last year’s half-back Declan Callinan has emigrated to Australia while fellow Kilmurry-Ibrickane players Peter O’Dwyer, Shane Hickey, Enda Coughlan and Darren Hickey are not involved this season. But McDermott insists he is satisfied with his panel ahead of the start of the league campaign.
