An incredible 900-plus GAA players have been given permission to play for clubs other than their own in Clare this year.

The Clare Echo reported from Tuesday’s board meeting that the lack of dual clubs in the county has meant record number of footballers and hurlers have requested to play a code that isn’t played in their home club.
