JOE HAYES and his management team will continue in charge of the Clare minor footballers for a second season.
Lissycasey native Hayes was re-appointed at Tuesday’s meeting of the County Board.
His management team is unchanged and includes Cratloe’s Fearghal Carroll and ex Clare footballers Ger Keane, Alan Clohessy and Cathal O’Connor with Tom O’Brien as goalkeeper coach.
His re-appointment was unanimously accepted on the proposition of board chairman Kieran Keating seconded by Wolfe Tones delegate, Joe Kelly. The chairman went on to wish the management team well.
Clare reached the Munster minor football semi-final after recording wins over Limerick and Waterford. They lost to Tipperary in phase one of the provincial championship and in the Daryl Darcy final before contesting the Munster semi-final against Kerry where they lost 3-16 1-6.
