Update: The Camogie Association has offered Dublin and Clare a playoff game

It's been a real stain on the Irish sporting year over the past week. The Camogie Association's decision to stick to the laughably unrealistic rule book and order a coin toss to decide which of Dublin or Clare will make their way through to the All Ireland quarter final.

The situation has arisen after the two counties finished level on points and level on their head to head record. Despite much criticism, the drawing of lots was seemingly set in stone. The Association confirmed that the draw would take place this morning at 9.30 and everyone was set to see the madness unfold.

However, at the last minute, Dublin and Clare have taken the commendable decision to refuse to take part in the draw.

What this means for the Championship is not abundantly clear at the moment but nonetheless early reaction has very much in line with the respective county's decisions. Essentially, this appears to indicate that both teams have withdrawn from the Championship and Wexford will receive a walkthrough to the All Ireland semi-final.

However, surely the Camogie Association will have to see sense and accept that a play-off fixture is the only logical step to take now.

More to follow.
