Fitzgerald calls for GAA bodies to be “looked into”.

Clare boss Davy Fitzgerald believes that some aspects of the GAA need to be looked into in the aftermath of yesterdays Munster semi final defeat to Cork in Thurles.

The Rebels overcame the All Ireland champions by 2-23 to 2-18 to book their place in the Munster final against Limerick, but the Sixmilebridge man was unhappy with several decisions made by referee James McGrath.

 

Speaking after the game, Fitzgerald felt that Cork's second goal, a Pat Horgan penalty, was a result of midfielder Aidan Walsh fielding a ball he shouldn't have got, and he claimed referee McGrath couldn't wait to give the Rebels the penalty.

 

Fitzgerald also acknowledged that Cork were the sharper team on the day, a sentiment echoed by his selector Mike Deegan.

 

Clare now go into next Monday mornings draw for the first round of the All Ireland Qualifiers, where they will be joined in Pot 1 by Waterford, Tipperary, and one of either Laois or Antrim.

 

Pot 2 contains Offaly, Wexford, one of either Laois or Antrim, and the losers of next weekends meeting of Galway and Kilkenny.

 

The draw will also detemine the venue, with the team drawn first gaining home advantage.
