O'Connell retains Clare captaincy
Brian O'Connell has retained the captaincy of the Clare senior hurlers for 2010 ahead of the Banner County's opening games of the new year against Waterford IT at Meelick this Sunday.
The 25-year old has been backed by new manager Ger 'Sparrow' O'Loughlin to lead the side for a third year in succession, following his two-year stint under then manager Mike McNamara.
