Kingdom GAA chiefs accused of ‘lacking common sense’

West Kerry Board chairman Muiris Ó Fiannachta has accused Kerry GAA decision-makers of lacking common sense in their handling of the county’s senior football championship round 2 fixtures.

The divisional side refused to fulfil their second round fixture against Mid Kerry — scheduled for tonight— citing the non-availability of 10 players from the Gaeltacht club who are travelling to Donegal for this weekend’s Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta.

West Kerry offered four alternative dates to fulfil the fixture with all four suggestions rejected at a meeting of the Kerry CCC last Sunday night, Mr Ó Fiannachta claimed.
