Statements from Ballyvary Hurling club and Caiseal Gaels have called on the Mayo county board to reverse its decision to exclude both from the funding made available to each county from JP McManus.
On Monday last, the Limerick businessman donated €100,000 to every county board in Ireland, an amount that would be divided equally among the local clubs.
