Bohs escape pitch sanction

SSE Airtricity League Director Fran Gavin has revealed Bohemians will escape sanction for Monday’s disastrous Dublin derby postponement against Shamrock Rovers.

The spotlight had been cast on the club after referee Tomás Connolly decided 45 minutes before kick off that the pitch was unplayable.

Gavin, speaking yesterday at Aviva Stadium at the launch of the newly-titled Continental Tyres women’s national league, insisted the league’s focus was on ensuring the issues surrounding the pitch were addressed.
