Tipp boss says warm-up area in Ennis not fit for sheep
Tipp selector Gerry McGill explained: “Before the game, our normal policy would be to walk the pitch and stretch but they wouldn’t open the gates.
“It was down to the fact that there was a hurling match there on the following day [Clare v Galway] but the pitch was in pristine condition on Saturday. They refused point blank to let us onto the pitch and they were quite rude about it. Clare themselves were in the same boat but where we had to warm up was a place at the back of the stand and it was nothing short of a disgrace. We wouldn’t do it to visitors.”
