Wexford will go ahead with appeal

WEXFORD will press ahead with their appeal against the decision of the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) to award Waterford and Kilkenny the Allianz NHL points from the two games Cork were unable to fulfil against them because of the player strike.

Wexford maintain that the CCCC decision was unconstitutional and speaking after yesterday’s defeat in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, new board secretary Margaret Doyle confirmed that they were continuing with the appeal. “We always felt strongly about it, because what was done was wrong. Everybody should have got points or nobody should have got them,” she commented.

“We have our appeal in now and we will be seeing it through. We’ll see how we get on.”
