Wexford panels refused funding for warm weather training

WEXFORD GAA chiefs have ruled out requests for warm weather training camps from their senior squads due to the economic downturn.

The Board, which reported a loss of e250,000 last year, received applications from the hurling and football panels to fund a week in Portugal which would have a combined cost in excess of e45,000.

The County Management Committee refused, instead approving an allocation of e3,000 to both camps should they wish to avail of a weekend training stay in Clonea on the Waterford coast.
