Collins revealed that his individual training had been geared for a return to the pitches in early March. And while he described the news as ‘disappointing’ he insisted that medical advice had to be followed. “We’ve been on a programme and everything was gearing up towards getting back on the field and getting back to play,” the Clare star explained. “The running you’re doing changes, the way you’re lifting weight changes and you are getting ready to hit the field and I probably have never been looking forward to it as much. Mackin, who has been training alongside her sister Bláithín, is hopeful this latest delay can lead to a better season.
