McNamara to stay in charge of Banner

Following a Clare County Board meeting this evening it has been confirmed that Mike McNamara will remain on as Clare hurling manager for the forthcoming season.

McNamara addressed the county board on Tuesday night and outlined why he would be staying on in charge of the squad.

The board and McNamara have pledged to work together to resolve the differences between the players and management.

And they have given themselves a time frame of the next seven to ten days to do so.

The Banner players had previously let their feelings be known when 27 out of 28 squad members voted to have McNamara removed from his position.
