Collins hopes Munster GAA chiefs see sense

Following their 12-point McGrath Cup win over Waterford in Meelick on Saturday, Clare manager Colm Collins says it would make sense to double up their January 14 tie with Cork, rather than play each other on successive weeks.

Clare 2-18 Waterford 1-9

With just three teams taking part in the 2018 pre-season tournament, Cork will qualify for a final meeting with Clare if they beat Waterford in Dungarvan on Sunday. “If Cork beat Waterford, I presume we’ll make one game of it. It would make no sense to play two. Maybe common sense isn’t that common but that’s what I’d be hoping for,” Collins said.
