Clubs expressed dissatisfaction at new regulations that bar secretaries from the sideline at last week's county board meeting.

When Kilrush chairman Anthony O'Connor asked who submits the list of substitutes, county secretary Pat Fitzgerald replied: "Who does it for the county? At county level we are only allowed five into the enclosure since January. I haven't been in a pitch as secretary of Clare GAA since the beginning of this season. At Cusack Park, I did it from the stand and the same in Limerick."

O'Connor went on to say: "It's not practical for a club not to have the secretary on the line. Management are not going to write the lists and the substitutes' slip." Tweet
