Like all inter county GAA team managers, Clare boss, Colm Collins is delighted that competitive action returns this week with the opening games in the Allianz football league.
While the majority of the players that helped Clare to maintain Division 2 league status over the past four years are expected to fill key positions in the upcoming Allianz League, a number of players are set to make their senior competitive debuts over the coming weeks.
