Banner board begins investigation as gate dislodges during player clash

Clare GAA chiefs are investigating how a gate at Cusack Park became dislodged within feet of a child’s buggy at the weekend.

The incident occurred in the first half of a county intermediate hurling championship semi-final replay when a melee developed between players from Wolfe Tones and Smith O’Brien’s.

As the row spilled over the sideline, the entrance gate on the River Fergus side of the field give way, with a child’s buggy only a few feet away.
