Banner unites behind Quinn

CLARE GAA have united behind hurler Gerry Quinn following his controversial clash with Henry Shefflin in last weekend’s All-Ireland Hurling Championship quarter-final.

In a statement issued last night the Clare County Board, players and team management said it fully accepted Quinn’s explanation that it was accidental.

However, they asserted that they were distinctly unhappy with some of the media comment about the incident and said they would be taking the matter further.
