Louth refs get national support as minor semi-final row a major issue

The Gaelic Match Officials Association (GMAO) have backed the Louth referees’ decision to make themselves available for a re-fixed minor football semi-final.

The game, which is set to take place this evening in Darver but was late last night subject to an appeal, was scheduled by the hearings committee after they upheld an appeal by Clan na nGael against the result of the game.

The Dundalk club claimed one of their first half scores against an O’Connells/Stabannon/St Josephs combination last month was not noted by the referee Stephen Murphy who had recorded a one-point win for the victors.
