Clare hurling has been rocked by the news that 2013 All-Star Podge Collins will focus solely on football in 2015.

Collins and his brother Sean have decided to throw their lot exclusively in with the footballers who are managed by their father Colm.

The Cratloe siblings combined both codes this year but it is understood that Clare won't facilitate a dual mandate in the new year.
