Decision to stage seven-minute Louth play-off is overruled

THE bizarre decision to play a seven-minute game to decide which team will be relegated from the Louth IFC has been overruled.

The Wee County hearings committee ruled the time left when the floodlights failed at Clogherhead in the play-off between Naomh Fionnbarra and Oliver Plunketts had to be played.

Naomh Fionnbarra were leading by four points but when the referee tried to finish the tie with light restored, a number of the Oliver Plunketts players had left.
