Turloughmore turn to DRA in bid for Galway championship reprieve

Turloughmore have lodged an appeal to the Disputes Resolution Authority (DRA) in a bid to be reinstated to the Galway Senior Hurling Championship.

The Connacht Council yesterday upheld the decision of the Galway CCC to throw Turloughmore out of the competition for fielding an ineligible player.

No date has been set for Turloughmore’s DRA hearing. Club officials are optimistic Galway top brass will postpone Sunday’s quarter-final involving Beagh and Ardrahan to allow a decision on the case before continuing the senior championship. Turloughmore have continued to train in the hope of the decision being overturned.
