Further controversy has hit Kerry ladies football, with the senior team docked league points for fielding three unregistered players against Mayo last month.

The chairman and the secretary of the Kerry Ladies Football executive resigned yesterday after the controversial decision to terminate the contract of minor manager Jonathan Griffin.

“The present and future aims of the Kerry LGFA and current minor management team were not aligned.”

The executive of the Kerry ladies football board have removed Jonathan Griffin from the position of Kerry minor manager one week before the team’s Munster championship opener.
