Defending Davy Fitzgerald: No excuse for hurling abuse

I WAS surprised by the letter which appeared in last week’s Arena claiming Davy Fitzgerald was responsible for the abuse by Cork fans at the recent Munster championship match.

Fitzgerald is an outstanding goalkeeper who has an unrelenting passion for Clare and for hurling in general. He has played at the top level for 15 years and in all that time has given every ounce of himself, both on and off the field. Fitzgerald coaches teams both inside and outside Clare — bringing LIT to their first Fitzgibbon, while also managing Ennistymon (a football club) to win the junior A final at their third attempt.
