Ballina RFC fined and deducted points over sponsored car

A rugby club is crying foul after being hit with a €2,000 fine and deducted two match points in the All-Ireland League after one of their players was photographed receiving the keys to a sponsored car.

Ballina RFC say that player Kieran Lindsay received the car on behalf of the club to be used for coaching in schools in the north Mayo and south Sligo region.
