Ex-Clare star Ger 'Sparrow' O'Loughlin has got the nod to replace John Minogue as Cyril Lyons' third selector.

Former All-Ireland winning captain Anthony Daly had been mooted to step up but he explained: "I wouldn't have time to do the two jobs, with the family, the pub, the shop, and I'm training young lads back in west Clare as well."

Boss Lyons said: "Ger was my number one candidate. He was available, willing to do the job, and I'm delighted to be working with him again.

"I played with him for many years in the Clare forward line and we know each other very well."
