On the back of the ruling, both Clare and Dublin county camogie boards withdrew from the ‘coin toss’ and Clare PRO Brid McNamara spoke to Newstalk this morning about the difficulty in making the decision.
“Both Dublin and ourselves were in line to be drawn for lots this morning to see who would progress to the quarter-final,” she said.
“We would prefer to withdraw our names from that."
“Both parties would prefer to go through to a quarter-final on merit of their performance in the championship as opposed to a drawing of lots or toss of a coin.
“It was a difficult statement for us to draft," she continued. “It was extremely difficult to face our players last night."
“I’m the PRO and there are no words in my vocabulary to convey the hurt, the disappointment and the absolute feeling of betrayal there was in that room last night.
“It felt like a death in that room.”
A statement from the Camogie Association is expected later this afternoon.
Spoke to officials from both Cork & Tipp, as far as they are concerned there is no doubt over them fulfilling their #Camogie QF #cointoss
