Antrim Hurlers Skip Training as Board Denies Move to Oust Davy Fitzgerald

The standoff threatens Antrim’s preparation for the Joe McDonagh Cup.

Overview

  • The senior squad, which sent a letter Tuesday, warned they would not train without a meeting to explain Davy Fitzgerald’s status and resolve gear issues.
  • Chairman Seamus McMullan said he could not meet on such short notice due to prior commitments, and players did not train Tuesday night.
  • Antrim GAA now denies any decision to remove Fitzgerald and cites a county committee meeting on 27 April to confirm he remains manager.
  • The players’ letter alleges a removal was decided then reversed and says some squad members still lack their full training gear under GPA standards.
  • The dispute follows a run of defeats in league and Joe McDonagh Cup play, with a trip to face London in Ruislip set for 10 May.
