We acted fairly, say Corca Dhuibhne

The principal of one of the schools involved in the first black card controversy has hit out at comments suggesting members of their management team inappropriately influenced officials during the contested fixture.

Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne principal Pádraig Firtéar, in announcing that the champions would not challenge the replay ruling handed down by the Munster post primary CCC, rejected claims that the team’s management had influenced officials during last month’s Corn Uí Mhuirí quarter-final against Coláiste Chríost Rí.

It would appear that Firtéar is making reference to the comments of Críost Rí boss Aidan Moynihan who told the Irish Examiner his side were left in “an ambush position” by the make-up of referee Kevin Walsh’s linesmen.
