There was cases diagnosed in GAA players after the house party. The clubs were then shut down as per GAA guidelines and teammates were tested. They came back negative and the clubs reopened. Of course there was confirmed cases, why would the clubs be shut down if there wasn't?

No your information is all wrong. That’s not how things work whatsoever. There was no cases diagnosed in GAA players.

The simple way of explaining is this.
-there was a house party in West Cork.
- it was attended by a large number of people including 3 GAA players from the 3 clubs in question
- another person at the party was diagnosed with the virus. This person is not a GAA player
- but obviously the GAA lads were in close contact with the individual over a period of time at the party.
- as a result they needed to be tested plus people they were in contact with needed to isolate and watch for symptoms, this would have included their teammates
- results negative so free to continue

So just to clarify at no stage did any player actually have the virus.

You asked why the clubs closed? That’s what a club must do if there is a “possible” case. A club can’t risk continuing and hoping things come back negative

The situation in North Cork is different as the player is CONFIRMED with the virus. A whole different ball game. And that why the County Board needed to make a statement on it. By making a proper statement it may stop gossip and stories going around. Details can get mixed up otherwise, like you had heard there was players in west cork diagnosed with the virus and that’s incorrect.

It’s been fairly well talked about that a player tested positive after he went training and played matches. That’s why there was 3 clubs shut down but if you heard different then agree to disagree.

It was clearly stated at the time that players had been in contact with someone who tested positive, not that players had tested positive. The Glanworth player is the first positive.

Never ever said anywhere that a player tested positive after training or played matches. I have heard different as I read the official statements on it. I’m not going on rumours
Have you a link to where it was said a GAA player in West Cork tested positive? I’d be interested in reading it, thanks.

Denis Walsh's article in yesterday's Sunday Times gives an excellent summation of the saga.

Unhappy Returns

Somewhat predictably GAA's resumption risks being curtailed by careless players.

Unfortunately I can't find a link for it but it's well worth a read.

The original player tested from a west Cork club did test positive for Covid 19.

Although he is well again he has not returned to team activities yet.

Lisha · 13-07-2020 9:13pm

If a positive person played a match while infectious then the other players can’t be fully assumed negative until a test that is done 14days after exposure. If a match is played on a Sunday players confirms on the Tuesday then the other players can’t be tested until 14days after exposure or until they exhibit symptoms. If the other players are tested 4 days after the match then the virus hasn’t had time to Replicate to detectable and it’s potentially a false negative.

Sad news from Aghada tonight, Kieran O'Connor has passed away. Awful for such a young man with a young family. RIP Kieran

SeaFields · 15-07-2020 9:00pm

Very sad news. He fought a good fight for a long time but it ultimately got the better of him. RIP.

The_Kew_Tour · 15-07-2020 9:18pm

Great footballer, but fact he leaves family that young is worst thing.

RIP

ShamoBuc · 15-07-2020 11:35pm

Very sad indeed.

I was excited about this until I learned that Cork clubs are not going to be allowed stream their own games online. I don’t know if the deal with the Examiner is the reason why, but it’s an awful decision.

zetecescort · 23-07-2020 8:17pm

clubs now allowed stream their games while the crowd numbers continue to be restricted to 200

Watching this club game as a complete neutral - Castlehaven boys must have wet dreams about putting in late hits on lads.

About 5 in 5 minutes here.
The O Driscoll wing forward should have walked

And then I saw him, like a beacon of pure aggressive beauty, my old UCC coach Niall Cahalane and now I understand!

ShamoBuc · 26-07-2020 3:05pm

Close game between Castlehaven and Carbery Rangers. 7 a piece at ht
Won't be surprised to see a red in the second half.

Live on TG4

The White Feather · 26-07-2020 3:06pm

Very enjoyable game so far

zetecescort · 26-07-2020 3:07pm

Carbery have missed a few decent goal chances which may cost them

The White Feather · 26-07-2020 3:13pm

The Havens defence seems to part like the red sea at times which unfortunately reminds me of the Cork senior team

zetecescort · 26-07-2020 3:40pm

Great to see the Hurleys in good form

Good players but neither are very fond of passing the ball - Michael especially.

Was John Hayes injured that he didnt start?

Just a reminder that this on now

zetecescort · 01-08-2020 7:42pm

Glen off to a flyer, look alot sharper. 1-7 to 0-3 after 13 min

ShamoBuc · 01-08-2020 7:44pm

Glen the sharper team no doubt. Some great point scoring so far.

The White Feather · 01-08-2020 7:53pm

Barrs just about hanging in there

ShamoBuc · 01-08-2020 7:55pm

Downey sees red. Technically he used the hurl but that really is soft.

The White Feather · 01-08-2020 7:55pm

Silly from Downey there. Might have evened up the game now as it looked at times that Glen had an extra man!

Downey desperatly hard done by there.

He was a bit, but you don't give a ref or umpire a chance to send you off. Anything with the hurley and its asking to be booked or sent off

SeaFields · 01-08-2020 8:13pm

Glen goal 50 seconds in second half.

I didn't think Downey was hard done by. Once you strike or attempt to strike you are giving the ref the option of red.

I turned the match back on and I missed the goal. What happened? Nightmare start for the Barrs

Barr's hadn't started at all. At sixes and sevens in the defence.

Edit. RTE clock set to intercounty not club games!

The White Feather · 01-08-2020 8:20pm

Why didn't the ref allow that advantage there when the Barrs got a goal?

That always annoys me. Advantage should be to the attacking team.

Then the Barrs miss from the free. Drives me mad

To be fair I think the Barr's player struck after the whistle and hence no protest by anyone.

But yeah it does happen that goals should stand at times in lieu of the advantage.

Shocking free. Donal O is right - high and hard to be in with any chance

zetecescort · 01-08-2020 8:35pm

its worse the Barrs are getting, some very poor wides. Glen still well on top with 14

zetecescort · 01-08-2020 8:42pm

Great finish from Horgan from 20 yards

SeaFields · 01-08-2020 8:44pm

Yeah absolute rocket by hoggie. You'd think it was the Barr's with 14 men....

ShamoBuc · 01-08-2020 8:44pm

Fairly pitiful from the Barrs.

Hoggje showing how much of a class hurler he is, but we already knew that.

Horse84 · 02-08-2020 3:34pm

If we’re serious as a county about challenging for hurling titles I don’t know if sending Downey off is the way forward for reffing our club championships. The reality is in tipp or kk that’s not a red card. I’m not saying it’s right but we have to start producing hardened physical and winning hurlers again and what we have been doing hasn’t been working. We can have all the nice skilful hurlers in the world but we need warriors.

gifted · 03-08-2020 2:51pm

Very poor performance from the Barrs.....to lose by 14 points is bad but they had an extra man for the second half as well....are they really that bad? Are the Glen 14 points better than them? Makes one ask the question is all well in the camp?

12 footballers on that team, you can't hope to bate a proper hurling club like the Glen with that many dual players.

Given their hurling tradition they have become a bit of a joke over the last few decades. They have a nice U16 and minor side this yr but too early to know if its genuine return or just a once off. Ronan Curran walked over the dual issue last yr. Outside of DC + RC who is the last 'Barrs outfield player to start senior championship with Cork?

zetecescort · 04-08-2020 7:44pm

The Examiner's line up this weekend, Bride Rovers v Fr O'Neills on Friday along with Castlelyons v Blarney and Sarsfields v Douglas on Saturday
