Clare manager Micháel McDermott has shrugged off the favourites tag ahead of this Sunday’s national league opener away to Leitrim.
Leitrim boss Mickey Moran told Clare FM earlier this week that he felt the Banner had a real chance of gaining promotion from Division 4, but McDermott says much of the praise is down to mind games
Eire Og’s Dean Ryan is definitely out of the game after he was hurt in training on Tuesday night; Graham Kelly and Barry Duggan are both injury doubts but it’s hoped that Gary Brennan of Clondegad will be available.
McDermott expects a tough match in Carrick on Shannon
Clare FM will have live coverage of Clare v Leitrim this Sunday from 2-30 in association with St Francis Credit Union, Ennis offering the best car loan packages in 2011.
