CLARE AND DUBLIN have been offered the chance to meet in a play-off for the remaining place in the All-Ireland senior camogie quarter-finals this weekend.
The teams had been due to draw lots today to see who would take on Wexford after finishing level on points in Group 2, having also drawn 1-8 to 1-8 earlier this year.
However, after both county boards withdrew their names from the coin toss, the Camogie Association has decided to schedule a match between the teams at Semple Stadium this Saturday, 1 August (2pm).
The winners will progress to a last-eight clash with the Model County on Monday, 3 August. A venue has yet 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,” the statement reads.
“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.”
Update: Both counties have accepted the offer.
