'It’s not all doom and gloom': Colm Collins and Clare prepare for life after Gary Brennan

Football life without former captain and talisman Gary Brennan will be a huge challenge for Clare in the 2020 Allianz League, but manager Colm Collins is bullish about the Banner County’s prospects of holding their own in Division 2 for a fourth successive year.
Clare open their campaign on Sunday against newly promoted Westmeath in Cusack Park, Mullingar, where Brennan produced a man-of-the-match performance for Collins’ side in a thrilling 1-13 to 0-15 All-Ireland Qualifier win over Jack Cooney’s charges last June.
