High Court orders Galway GAA not to hold disputed match

GALWAY GAA chiefs have been ordered by the High Court not to play a disputed County Championship match tomorrow between Corofin and Carraroe.

Peter Finlay SC, counsel for Killererin GAA Club secretary Sylvester Cassidy, told High Court president Mr Justice Joseph Finnegan yesterday that Killererin had drawn a quarter-final match with Carraroe on July 4 at Tuam.

Mr Finlay said that after the drawn game, the referee had been approached by a Galway County Board official and told he could have played extra time to decide the match. Mr Finlay said the referee had called both teams back on to the pitch to play extra time. The Killererin players were in the showers at the time and had refused to go out again.
