The lack of an objection to a Munster post-primary schools football game last month was a key factor in a case against the result of the game not being successful.

Mallow’s Patrician Academy had claimed to the Disputes Resolution Authority on February 10 that the referee had awarded them an additional-time winning goal in their provincial senior B semi-final against The Abbey School in Kilmallock on January 28 and he then blew for full-time.
