THE FAI JUNIOR Cup final, scheduled to take place at the Aviva Stadium this Saturday, has been postponed after one of the beaten semi-finalists launched a late protest.
Four-time winners Sheriff YC and St Michael’s AFC were due to go head-to-head in this year’s showpiece, but Limerick’s Aisling Annacotty have lodged a formal complaint against Sheriff following their semi-final defeat last weekend.
According to The Limerick Leader, Aisling Annacotty — who were beaten 1-0 by Sheriff in their last-four tie — have lodged two objections against the Dublin club in relation to player registration.
