Kickhams await ruling in eligibility row

Creggan Kickhams will learn later this week whether they will be able to hold on to their All-Ireland junior club hurling title.

The Antrim side beat Waterford’s Ballysaggart in a final replay last month but Croke Park authorities are investigating the eligibility of two of their players.

Conor Small and Donal Carey were U16 last year and didn’t feature in Kickhams’ county or provincial successes, as they were underage for adult level.
