JAMES Lafferty is widely known in ladies football circles in Clare.
A founder member of the county board in 1983, he served as secretary and treasurer in the past and was chairman until resigning a fortnight ago.
He informed the football board of his decision to resign on October 22, citing “personal and business diffi- culties” as his reasons.
Sources in ladies football in Clare have described his work at underage level as “hugely progressive”.
They also said he injected energy and dedication into the game in the county over a period of several years.

He also managed the county’s un- der-14 side last year.
