Joan O’Flynn: Pitches a camogie headache

Camogie chiefs were forced to contact 31 different clubs and counties in attempting to secure a venue for last year’s All-Ireland Club Intermediate semi-final, Ard Stiúrthóir Joan O’Flynn revealed.

The fixture involving Waterford’s Lismore and Liatroim Fontenoys of Down had to be postponed by a week as the national fixtures committee were unsuccessful in securing a pitch.

In her annual report ahead of this weekend’s Congress, O’Flynn says pitch availability is one of the leading problems facing the Camogie Association as they continue to survive off the generosity of their GAA counterparts.
