Queens lodge appeal against Sigerson expulsion

Queens University Belfast have confirmed they will contest their expulsion from the Sigerson Cup.

An appeal was last night lodged with the Central Appeals Committee (CAC) challenging the decision to remove Queens from the competition for fielding three ineligible players in their first round defeat to IT Sligo.

Members of the Belfast University GAA club were informed by Higher Education top-brass last November that students of Stranmillis, a teacher training branch of QUB, were no longer eligible to line out for Queens in the Sigerson Cup.
