Monasterevin ‘wrong score’ appeal puts brakes on Kildare quarter-finals

THE Kildare IFC quarter-finals are unlikely to take place this weekend as Monasterevin prepare to appeal a result to the Leinster Council.

Monasterevin contend match referee Des Coyle submitted the wrong final score for their second round game against Castledermot. They insist the game finished 1-10 to 0-9 in their favour but the referee’s report stated the score was in fact 1-9 to 0-10. The difference in scorelines gained added significance when Monasterevin finished in ninth place in the final league table, level with Eadestown on four points and with just two points separating the two clubs on scoring difference.

If the score Monasterevin insist is right is accepted they leapfrog Eadestown into eighth place and gain a place in the quarter-finals.
