Nenagh accept expulsion decision

The outcome of this year’s All-Ireland Vocational SAHC still remains in doubt, despite Nenagh Vocational School confirming last night they will not appeal any further against the GAA’s decision to throw them out of the championship after being found guilty of the charge of “misconduct which is considered to have discredited the Association”.

Nenagh VS principal Michael McNulty revealed the school has accepted disqualification from the competition, which is the punishment originally imposed by post-primary schools officials and backed by the GAA’s Central Hearings Committee (CHC).

The school were found guilty of the charge following the abandonment of the March 24 All-Ireland semi-final when Shane Cleere of St Fergal’s (Rathdowney) was removed from the pitch by ambulance with what was later confirmed as kidney damage.
