Schools must wait for ruling on black card error

A verdict on the first black card controversy will be delivered by the Munster Post Primary CCC this afternoon.

Schools must wait for ruling on black card error

The three-person committee met last night to hear Coláiste Chríost Rí’s objection to the result of last Wednesday week’s Corn Uí Mhuirí quarter-final against Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne. The Cork school are protesting on the grounds referee Kevin Walsh made a serious black card error during the game.

The Kerry school’s captain Barra Ó Súilleabháin was shown the yellow and black card during his side’s extra-time win at Killarney. Under the new rules, the midfielder should have received a red card after his second caution on 46 minutes, but Kevin Walsh failed to show a red card and allowed sub Gareth Ó Brosnacháin replace Ó Súilleabháin.
