THE CARLOW COUNTY board have decided to reinstate Ballinkillen into the senior hurling championship, even though the Leinster Council Hearings Committee upheld their decision to award the game to St Mullins.
Ballinkillen refused to fulfil last Sunday’s county semi-final against St Mullins on player welfare grounds because five members of their team had been involved in an intermediate football semi-final the night before.
The Carlow CCC awarded the game to St Mullins, prompting Ballinkillen’s county players to consider withdrawing from next year’s Carlow senior hurling panel.
Ballinkillen took their case to the Leinster Council earlier this week but according to a Carlow GAA statement, the provincial body’s Hearings Committee upheld the initial decision.
But following a request from St Mullins, the fixture will be re-made. Ballinkillen will face St Mullins next Saturday for a place in the final.
“Following the Leinster Council Hearings Committee’s ruling to uphold Carlow GAA’s CCC decision to award the SHC semi-final to Naomh Moling, Carlow GAA has now acceded to Naomh Moling’s request to re-make the fixture,” a brief Carlow statement read.
“The game will now proceed on Saturday, 12 October in Netwatch Cullen Park at 3.30pm.”

But they were AI champions last week???
@Harry Corry: Everyone outside of Mayo hyped them up. Every mayo fan could see our defence was wide open against Galway. Conceded 17 scores, same thing again today but Tyrone much better defensively than Galway. It’s about finding the balance. Horan always plays attacking football. It was the exact same in his first stint. Great going forward but wide open in defence.
@Harry Corry: No Harry. Dublin were the Al champions last week. Don’t feel embarrassed. It can be confusing but Mayo have a way to go yet ;-)
@Desheen: I’m joking btw lads. Mayo are my 2nd favourite team after Cork. Never give up
@Harry Corry: they are a lot of people’s second favourites because they win feck all
Tyrone are probably the worst team to play against following a convincing win. No better team to get in your face and bring you back down to earth.
If this article doesn’t bring Mel out nothing will
@my name: Mel seems to have retired from being a contrary bollocks on the internet
@Miguel Sanchez: Mel is a prize ballocks
@Miguel Sanchez: ah you’d miss him all the same
@my name: he can be an awkward one and I’m from Tyrone. Hope he is ok though, havent seen him here in ages.
So much for big shot moran today, Motm last week but substituted at half time today…disappointing stuff once again from Mayo. Bottlers
