Uproar at SFAI meeting as two delegates ordered to leave

A leading schoolboy football official threatened to enlist Gardaí intervention when he was ordered to leave a meeting of all 32 underage leagues in Ireland on Saturday.

Tony Gains, secretary of the second biggest in Ireland, the North Dublin SL, was attending the Schoolboy FAI (SFAI) council meeting at the Red Cow Hotel when he became embroiled in a heated argument with the SFAI Chairman, Michael O’Brien.

The SFAI is the biggest affiliate under the auspices of the FAI, and represents leagues all over Ireland.
