Davy Fitzgerald: Hurling potential is incredible if properly promoted

Davy Fitzgerald believes the GAA will have to introduce a cap on the amount spent by county boards on their teams to ensure a level playing field.

Last year, Clare’s total expenditure for their county sides at all grades came to €657,337, a drop of €143,236 from the previous year.

It paled in comparison to the amounts paid out by most of their Munster rivals: Cork (€1.44 million), Tipperary (€1.045m) and Limerick (€1.04m). Kerry almost hit the €1m mark while Waterford accrued €664,485.
