A row has erupted between the Limerick senior football team and the Limerick County Board over their recent training trip to Spain.

The players, who have put the matter in the hands of the Gaelic Players Association (GPA), claim that they had raised the money for the trip themselves but were only given a t-shirt each in which to train.

They also claim that an under-21 player who was supposed to replace veteran Treaty man John Quane was refused a seat on the plane because he wasn't part of the official squad. His place was taken by a County Board official.

Limerick County Board have denied all the claims.
