Fitzmaurice irked as sideline confusion continues

Munster GAA officials are to confer this week with Croke Park on the continuing confusion over sideline access for team selectors and medics.

Despite the intervention of GAA president Liam O’Neill in Saturday’s Irish Examiner, Kerry again opted to have their selectors Mikey Sheehy and Diarmuid Murphy in the stand for Saturday night’s win over Waterford, having failed to secure permission from Munster Council officials in Killarney.

“We sought clarification before the game and were told that the Munster Council were seeking guidance from headquarters,” explained Kerry coach Eamonn Fitzmaurice, who has been vocal in his opposition to the regulations.
