Michael Neylon has stepped down as Clare U20 football manager, just weeks after his reappointment.

The Miltown Malbay clubman was ratified for a sixth year at the September county board meeting, but has now tendered his resignation due to circumstances outside his control.

In a statement, he said: "Due to circumstances outside of my control I have decided, with regret, to resign from my position as Clare U20 football manager.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute working with our progressive Clare footballers, all of our management team members, sponsors, Clare Football Supporters Club and County board officials over the past five years.

"It has been my privilege to be involved with two U20 Development League O’Connor Cup winning teams and to be part of a series of memorable championship campaigns.

"Assisting our players in their journey to become elite sportspeople at senior intercounty level for county Clare was our primary objective as a management team. Every moment we have spent with every player on the five-year journey has been rewarding and enriching.

"I wish Clare football continued success and look forward to working with the County again in the future."
