Trouble brews in Wee County as refs threaten strike

Louth referees are threatening to withdraw services if the county board goes ahead with a re-fixed minor football semi-final tomorrow evening.

Match officials are up in arms following the hearings committee’s decision to uphold an appeal against the referee’s report from the original September 15 game between an O’Connells/Stabannon/St Josephs combination and Clan na Gael.

Dundalk’s Clan na Gael objected to the result, which the referee recorded as a 2-13 to 2-12 scoreline against them.
