Clare chairman O’Neill is unfazed by possible strike

CLARE County Board Chairman Michael O’ Neill is adamant that the stand-off between the Clare senior hurlers and county manager Mike McNamara will not result in a Cork-style players strike.

However, the county chairman has re-affirmed his and the board’s backing for the current manager.

“I don’t see this as being similar to any other situation in the country. It’s an internal problem that we have in Clare at the minute,” the Ballyea man told The Clare Champion on Wednesday.
