Saga rumbles on as Hockey Ireland lodge appeal to SDSI

Hockey Ireland confirmed that they have lodged an appeal for arbitration to Sport Dispute Solutions Ireland (SDSI).

In the latest twist to the saga over the European club allocations, Hockey Ireland themselves confirmed they have lodged an appeal for arbitration to Sport Dispute Solutions Ireland (SDSI).

It comes in the wake of three separate clubs putting in separate appeals earlier this week. Lisnagarvey’s challenge to an independent appeals panel was the catalyst, arguing successfully Hockey Ireland’s decision to keep the 2018/19 Euro qualifiers in place was “without reasonable rationale”.
