Court dismisses fan's attempt to challenge GAA referee's decision in court

The High Court has dismissed a pensioner's application to bring proceedings arising out of the controversial decision to allow stand a goal scored by Meath in the 2010 Leinster football final against Louth.

Paddy Garvey (aged 75) wanted the court to allow him permission to bring judicial review proceedings over the awarding of Meath's controversial winning goal in the Leinster SFC final at Croke Park, when Meath's Joe Sheridan infamously threw the ball over the line to deny the Louth the Leinster championship.
