Collins Satisfied With Munster Championship Changes

Clare Senior Football Manager Colm Collins says the revised format for the Munster Senior Football Championship is a fairer system.

2014 saw the controversial return of the seeded draw, with Cork and Kerry kept apart in the semi-finals, in a move which led the other four counties to boycott this year's McGrath Cup.

The Munster Council reversed that decision for the 2015 draw, and while Cork and Kerry now get a bye to the semi-finals, they can be drawn against each other in the last four.

It's not a full open draw, but Collins is pleased with the resolution.

Elsewhere, Austin Stacks and Slaughtneil have a date on Valentine's Day after provincial championship wins yesterday.

Kerry champions, Stacks survived the sending off of Shane Carroll to beat The Nire of Waterford 3-5 to 2-4 in a scrappy affair at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, and win a first Munster football title since 1976.

While Slaughtneil of Derry won their first ever Ulster title after they came from behind to beat Omagh by a single point at the Athletic Grounds.

Termon of Donegal won the ladies All Ireland club football title beating Mourneabey of Cork 3-12 to 1-13 in Tuam.
