Junior final dispute drags on

Ballysaggart are seriously considering contesting the decision to allow the result of last month’s All-Ireland junior club hurling final replay to stand.

On Thursday, the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) ruled Creggan Kickhams’ victory over the Waterford side was legitimate. This followed an investigation into the eligibility of two players, Conor Small and Donal Carey, who were questioned as being underage for an adult team.

Both were U16 last year when the competition started. Ballysaggart had queried their involvement in the form of an objection to the result but it was received two and a half hours past the three-day deadline.
