Clare release statement after criticism of Davy Fitz and his management team

The Clare hurlers have issued a statement this evening in which they say that they remain united after the recent disciplinary action taken against two former players.

Davy Fitzgerald and his management team were heavily criticised last week by Davy O'Halloran after he and Nicky O'Connell quit the Clare panel.

O'Halloran said he was unhappy with the disciplinary procedures he was forced to face and told The Irish Times that he had been 'humiliated' by management.

In this evening's statement, the Clare players say that "all involved are happy that the matter was dealt with fairly"

They also claim that there were "numerous inaccuracies reported in the media, on social media and in a former player's statement" but say that the matter is now closed.

"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," said Clare GAA in a statement signed on behalf of players and management.

"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."
