Collins gets marching orders from football championship panel

Michael Collins has become the second Cork referee to be dropped off the GAA’s championship panel.

The Clonakilty man is not among the elite 16 match officials rostered for this summer’s football campaign.

Collins’ exit comes after it broke last month that Cathal McAllister was not included in the hurling panel along with Waterford’s Michael Wadding and Laois’ Anthony Stapleton.
