Late Venue Switch and Poor Pitch Conditions Overshadow Wexford’s Clash with Clare

Concerns over pitch conditions dominated Saturday’s Division 1B clash involving the Wexford camogie players against Clare. The venue was changed just two hours before throw-in, from Clareabbey to Meelick, after the original surface was ruled unplayable.

However, the new pitch had already hosted a club challenge match and was described online as a “swamp.” 

Wexford’s Laura Dempsey also criticised the lack of dressing rooms and hot showers following the four-hour journey.  Amid the controversy, Wexford fell to Clare on a scoreline of 0-15 to 0-09.
