One of the two Clare hurlers designated as a close contact of a Covid-19 positive Wexford player was identified not by name but by the colour of his helmet, Clare GAA have revealed.

Clare GAA, having yesterday issued a statement which sought to cool tensions between Clare and Wexford, have now come out in support of the comments made by the county’s senior hurling manager Brian Lohan on Sunday when he questioned how two members of his panel had come to be identified as close contacts following the county’s League fixture against Wexford on May 16.
