Fitzgerald on verge of becoming Banner boss

Davy Fitzgerald is the only candidate in the race to be appointed Clare senior hurling boss ahead of tonight’s county board meeting at the West County Hotel in Ennis.

Fitzgerald’s four-year reign as Waterford senior hurling boss came to an end a fortnight ago and speculation has intensified since that the 1995 and 1997 All-Ireland-winning goalkeeper would take charge of his native county.
