Colleges to rule in black card row

The fallout from the first black card officiating error is expected to reach a conclusion tomorrow.

The Munster post-primary CCC will convene tomorrow evening to rule on Coláiste Chríost Rí’s objection following last Wednesday’s Corn Uí Mhuirí quarter-final defeat to Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne.

Referee Kevin Walsh did not send off Corca Dhuibhne captain Barra Ó Súilleabháin after he received a yellow card in the first half and was subsequently black carded on 46minutes. Under the new rules, the midfielder should have received a red card after his second caution but Kevin Walsh failed to show a red card and allowed sub Gareth Ó Brosnacháin replace Ó Súilleabháin. The Cork school led by 1-5 to 0-5 at the time but were overturned in extra-time.
