Monaghan appeal match forfeit

Monaghan have begun the process of applying to the Disputes Resolution Authority (DRA) as they bid to overturn their forfeiture of home advantage for a league game.

County officials are likely to have their case heard by the independent committee, whose decision is binding, before they face Louth tomorrow week.

Monaghan’s appeal against the Central Hearing Committee’s (CHC) judgement on their players’ involvement in a melee in their league game against Kildare was turned down by the Central Appeals Committee on Wednesday.
