GAA SnippetsFitzgerald's Clare Days Maybe OverNew Clare manager, Mick McNamara has hinted that former goalkeeper Davy Fitzgerald may not reappear in the county jersey again. It will be remembered that last year Fitzgerald the county panel after a dispute with the then manager, Tony Considine. It was expected that McNamara would attempt to entice Fitzgerald back into the county panel for the 2008 campaign. However, when recently asked about the matter McNamara replied that, it is time to bring in fresh talent for all positions, including that of the goalkeeping position. Unless McNamara changes his mind it appears that one of the more high-profile members of Clare's great team of the 1990s will now have to content himself with club hurling for Sixmilebridge. Cork Players' Strike's First VictimThe stand-off between the Cork hurlers and the County board has caused the game between Cork and Limerick Institute of technology in the Waterford Crystal tournament to be postponed. The game has being provisionally fixed for next week but unless the strike is called off in the meantime, it is almost certainly to be postponed indefinitely.
