Dublin delight with offer of playoff from Camogie Association

Wed, 29th July 2015

The Camogie Association have confirmed that it is offering a play-off game to Clare and Dublin to take place on Saturday, August 1 in Semple Stadium, Thurles (2.0).

The winners of this game will proceed to the quarter-final to play Wexford on Monday, August 3 with a time and venue to be confirmed.

The Camogie Association Ard Chomhairle took the decision in order to find a solution to the impasse which arose after both Clare and Dublin Camogie Boards withdrew, after objecting to the pre-determined competition procedures to identify the fourth quarter-finalist in the Liberty Insurance Senior All-Ireland Championship.

Extra-time will be played in the event of the play-off ending in a draw, while extra-time will also apply in the Senior quarter-final on August 3.

Dublin Camogie have officially replied to The Camogie Association and "are delighted to be afforded the opportunity of a play-off with Clare this coming Saturday August 1st at 2pm in Semple Stadium. We hope to see as many supporters there as possible."
