Decision to relegate St Michael’s ‘slur on club and insult to Cork’

THE decision to relegate Cork champions St. Michael’s to Division Two of Féile Peil na nÓg in Limerick yesterday, provoked an angry reaction from the Blackrock club.

At the conclusion of the presentation of the Division Two cup, several members of their team sprayed bottles of Coca Cola in the direction of the dignitaries, and while it was easy to understand their frustration, it took the gloss off their emphatic victory over local club St. Patrick’s.

The irony of it all was that St. Sylvester’s (Dublin) who were given St. Michael’s place in premier grade to ensure there were two teams from the capital in the top division, won it in dramatic fashion from the holders Corofin (Galway)
