Clare players have total faith in Davy Fitzgerald, says Patrick Kelly

Clare goalkeeper Patrick Kelly has reiterated the county hurling squad’s faith in manager Davy Fitzgerald.

Teammates Brendan Bugler and Aaron Cunningham voiced their backing for the under-fire Fitzgerald on Clare FM in the wake of their championship exit to Cork earlier this month and Kelly was just as insistent Fitzgerald had the unanimous support of his squad.

“Yeah, he has the full backing of the players,” said Kelly at the M Donnelly Poc Fada launch in Dublin. “There is no question about that. A lot of stuff has been talked over the media about trying to get Davy out and this and that, but I can guarantee he has the full backing of every single member of that squad.
