Collins targets immediate promotion for Clare footballers

Clare football boss Colm Collins is targeting immediate promotion to Division 2 as he looks to build on a positive 2014.

Collins will have his sons Podge and Sean, along with Cathal McInerney, devoting all of their efforts to thefootball cause next year following Davy Fitzgerald’s refusal toaccommodate dual players. Collins says there has been no thawing of that stance, expressing delight at having some of the county’s finest talent at his disposal.

“There’s no change whatsoever. The hurling management made theirdecision and that was it, there is no acrimony there. There is no bad feeling in any shape or form.
