Banner give Davy extra three years at the helm

Davy Fitzgerald is set to remain as Clare senior hurling manager for another three years following last night’s county board meeting.

The All-Ireland-winning manager had a year remaining on the original three-year term he was given in October 2011, but Banner chiefs have opted to extend that following the county’s first Liam MacCarthy Cup win since 1997.

In addition to the extension of Fitzgerald’s tenure, Clare also appointed a new football manager last night, with Colm Collins ratified for a three-year term.
