Delight for Clare’s Podge Collins as injury nightmare over

Clare’s Podge Collins has expressed delight at ending his cruciate injury nightmare.

The 24-year old, who concentrated on football at inter-county level last year, made his first appearance for Clare hurlers since 2014 when he came on in Sunday’s facile 2-28 to 1-9 win over Kerry.

Collins has been out of action since suffering a cruciate ligament injury in May while playing for a championship game for Cratloe.
