Staging of Clare-Wexford league game to be investigated by Camogie Association

Michael Bolton

The Camogie Association is "investigating the circumstances" around the staging of last weekend's Centra Camogie League clash between Clare and Wexford.

The game was originally set to be hosted at Clareabbey in Clare. However, the Division 1B was moved on short notice to Meelick.

Pictures on social media showed the heavy underfoot conditions, particularly around one of the goalmouths.

"We thank our county boards for their continued efforts and assistance in delivering a programme of games, in what has been an incredibly difficult period of bad weather in recent weeks."
