Ballinkillen to contest Carlow SHC expulsion

Ballinkillen will go before the Leinster Council hearings committee to contest their expulsion from the Carlow SHC.

Having refused to fulfil Sunday’s county semi-final fixture against St Mullins on the grounds of player-welfare, Ballinkillen were thrown out of the championship by Carlow’s Competitions Control Committee, prompting the club to bring their case to the provincial body in a bid to be reinstated.
