St Nick’s call for probe

ST NICHOLAS football club last night called on the Cork County Board to investigate claims that Carbery played a suspended player in the Cork SFC last Sunday week.

The third-round tie ended with Carbery victorious against St Nicholas by 1-16 to 2-8, but the win has been overshadowed by speculation that Carbery fielded a player who had been sent off the previous Monday night in a challenge game.

The Northside club sought to quell rumours they are launching an objection against Carbery’s future participation in the 2009 championship, but stressed that they believe the county board should investigate the matter.
