Fear Bun Na Sceilpe

    The Camogie Association have confirmed that it is offering a play-off game to Clare and Dublin to take place on Saturday, August 1st at 2.00pm in Semple Stadium, Thurles.

    The winners of this game will proceed to the quarter-final to play Wexford on Monday, August 3rd 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 3rd.

They're in this situation because they didn't think of the all the possibilities; their solution doesn't address all the possibilities either. What happens if there is a draw after extra time?

A replay? Shocking that they didn't move back the Wexford game in the same breath as caving and giving a play-off to the two teams. Ladies' administrators care as much about player safety as the Mens' administrators do.

Surely it's an opportunity for the '65 puc off'

I have no idea what possesses someone to make comments like that. Ladies football is (usually) a damn fun sport to watch.

Games between Cork & Dublin are good.
There's a huge drop-off in quality after those two though.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

What about young Cora Staunton?

So many clueless comments on social media today, giving about the "GAA discriminating against women."

I hate dealing with camogie people in the club and county.

Thinking on almost everything is stuck in a parallel universe - coaching, fixtures, rules at blitzes.

Can score a goal or a point from anywhere, but cannot make a pass! No vision!

It's very unlike people on social media to be clueless about things.

In fairness it's pretty clear she's a class apart from everyone around her. I imagine that's as much a symptom of having to score 9-12 in matches by herself as anything.. if she had the comfort of a few similarly talented players she'd probably be a much better passer.

I'm a bit torn on this one, it 100% centre should never have been a coin toss in the first place, from a purely mathematical point of view a coin toss isn't unbiased so one team would have had an advantage.  That said all counties ratified these rules last year and as unfair as it might have been the rule should have been enforced, no point in changing it now that it actually has to be used.  Feel sorry for both teams (with the winner playing twice in 48 hours) and Wexford now, still not knowing who they will be playing on Monday
