Podge Collins will be the subject of a TV documentary tomorrow night.

'My Toughest Year' will broadcast on UTV at 8pm. It follows the Clare dual star on his long journey back to fitness from a cruciate ligament injury he sustained while playing for his club Cratloe in the Clare SHC in 2014. Collins, who will line out for the Clare footballers against Limerick in the Munster SHC this afternoon, has already bagged Allianz League Division 1 hurling and Division 3 football medals this year.

Producer and UTV sports reporter Marie Crowe said: "Podge is a prime example of one of Ireland's finest amateur athletes who dedicates his life to his county. He has fought hard and faced challenges that many of us would have shied away from, all to wear the coveted saffron and blue.

"It has been a pleasure following Podge on his journey to recovery and I would like to thank him for giving us exclusive access for this documentary."
