Louth’s seven minute play-off final

LOUTH GAA chiefs have ruled that the remaining seven minutes of an unfinished IFC relegation play-off in September be played.

Naomh Fionnbarra were leading Oliver Plunketts 1-9 to 0-8 when the floodlights at the Clogherhead venue failed. When light was restored and the referee tried to finish the tie, it was discovered many Oliver Plunketts players had left the ground.

Louth’s Competitions Control Committee subsequently awarded the match to Naomh Fionnbarra and handed down six-month suspensions to 14 Oliver Plunketts players. One player who had been sent off escaped a ban.
