Few people have a better sense of the feeling in Clare than former manager Colm Collins. After it was confirmed Cusack Park would host the Munster senior football final for the first time since 1919 the place started buzzing.

Collins was on the sideline when Clare played Kerry sides at the Gaelic Grounds in last year’s Munster decider, but that venue is not available this time as the Great Limerick Run is taking place in the city on the same date.
