Kildare’s appeal puts schedule in jeopardy

THE Leinster Council will be anxiously awaiting developments in regard to Kildare’s appeal against the decision to uphold the result of their senior football championship match against Offaly.

The appeal and the possibility of an approach to the DRA depending on its outcome, has clear implications for the Council’s schedule. Specifically, the semi-final involving the ‘winners’ of the game against Wexford on June 18 is being called into question.

And, it may also affect the date of the qualifier game between the ‘losers’ and Cavan in the first-round of the qualifier series, which is fixed for June 17.
