Pat Clancy interview with Hogan Stand 29 May 1992
YOU ARE CAPTAIN OF THE WESTMEATH HURLERS THIS YEAR. DO YOU REGARD THIS AS AN HONOUR? Of course!! It is an honour to know that you are the person selected by players and management to lead them for a full season. It would be a bonus of course, to lead this team to success and that is my intention for the coming year.
