Public divided in Clare hurling row

ALL-IRELAND winning manager Ger Loughnane will return to the airwaves today on Clare FM as the row which has engulfed hurling in the county stumbles into a second week.

Loughnane, who guided Clare to two All-Ireland titles in 1995 and 97, lost out to long-serving Fr Harry Bohan for the Services to Clare Hurling award, which was selected by the Clare County Board earlier this month.

He was also angered with the passing-over of some of his former players in a selection naming the best Clare team of the past 25 years.
