Soft drink row showing no signs of abating

THE Gaelic Players Association and food and drink manufacturer C&C have defended their right to hand out free samples of their Club Energise drinks outside GAA grounds before championship matches this summer.

Samples of the product have been given away free at most championship matches this year and will be again at this Sunday’s Ulster football final.

There are no plans to do likewise at the Munster football final in Killarney.
