DRA decision throws Galway SHC into turmoil

The Galway senior hurling championship has been thrown into chaos following the decision of the Disputes Resolution Authority (DRA) to quash the Galway CCC’s ruling dumping Turloughmore out of the competition.

The quarter final-fixture between Ardrahan and Beagh was postponed on Sunday and fear is now growing that the championship will be delayed until well into November.

The DRA have ordered Galway top brass to establish a new investigation committee to examine the composition of the Turloughmore team that overcame Beagh by 1-19 to 0-16 in a deciding group game on September 14. Beagh lodged a complaint to the Galway CCC following the fixture, questioning the eligibility of Turloughmore player Matthew Keating.
