The Clare hurlers and management have released a statement regarding the recent furore over the departure of two players for the county panel.
Davy O'Halloran and Nicky O'Connell both recently left the squad amid claims by O'Halloran in the Irish Times that he had been subjected to 'humiliating' punishment.
Here's the statement in full. It is signed by co-captains Pat Donnellan and Cian Dillon along with Davy Fitzgerald and two of his selectors.
The Clare senior hurling panel and management have met on the recent disciplinary issues that have been aired in the public domain.
All involved are happy that the matter was dealt with fairly.
While there are numerous inaccuracies reported in the media, on social media and in a former player’s statement, the matter is now closed and we, as a group, are happy to move forward, united and to continue to enjoy working hard for Clare hurling.
Signed:
Pat Donnellan on behalf of the players.
Cian Dillon behalf of the players.
Michael Browne on behalf of team management.
Davy Fitzgerald on behalf of team management.
Louis Mulqueen on behalf of team management.
The GPA said on Monday that they would be investigating the matter.
