Podge Collins hopes to resurrect his inter-county hurling career at some point in the future but for now he's happy to concentrate on football.

In an interview with The Irish Times, the Cratloe dual ace revealed there is no 'bad blood' between him and Banner hurling boss Davy Fitzgerald arising from his decision to choose football over the small ball code.

"I'd be hoping I do get to go again with hurling, who knows?" he said.

"I've met [Fitzgerald] once or twice since and we've just had a chat. There's no bad blood there. I understand his point of view and I've just got to stick with the football now for the year and see how I get on.

"But I wouldn't be thinking about it right now because my focus would be 100 per cent on the football, and training with them. I do keep the hurling going, training away myself. The club will be starting with the league and if you leave the hurley down for a month, you're going to get rusty. So keep tipping away."

The former All Star hurler has played a bit part in the Banner County's two football league outings to date due to a hamstring injury but he has declared himself fully fit aead of Sunday's meeting with Sligo.

"I know it's a cliche, but we're really only taking every game at a time. We're just concentrating now on Sligo, hopefully getting two points there, and just pushing on from that.

"That's genuinely the focus and as soon as the league is over, just concentrating 100 per cent on Limerick, in the Munster championship."
