All-Ireland winner Podge Collins has announced his retirement from inter-county action after over a decade of service to the Clare jersey. 

Dual star Collins retires having tasted the ultimate success with the hurlers. He was an integral part of Davy Fitzgerald's Banner side that defeated Cork to lift Liam McCarthy in 2013, winning an All-Star in the process.
