Dubs call Fennell despite club row

MIDFIELDER Eamon Fennell will again feature for Dublin against Meath in tonight’s O’Byrne Cup replay despite the escalating controversy surrounding his attempted club transfer.

Fennell has been seeking a move from the O’Toole’s club for three seasons but his latest attempt to make the switch to St Vincent’s was defeated by a vote of the county board on Monday.

A split ballot of 33 for and 33 against left chairman Gerry Harrington with the final casting vote and the Cork native duly decided not to sanction the player’s switch.
