Door open for Collins brothers, says Davy

Clare senior hurling manager Davy Fitzgerald has insisted the door remains open for the Collins brothers, Podge and Sean, to potentially rejoin the county panel.

Fitzgerald admitted his decision to dispense with the dual experiment in 2015 was “tough” but hailed the Cratloe pair as “absolutely fantastic lads” following last Sunday’s victory over Crusheen in the Clare senior club hurling final.

“I’ve great time for them — absolutely fantastic lads and they gave their all [for Cratloe],” he told Newstalk.
