Monasterevin ‘wrong score’ appeal puts brakes on Kildare quarter-finals

THE Kildare IFC quarter-finals are unlikely to take place this weekend as Monasterevin prepare to appeal a result to the Leinster Council.
Monasterevin contend match referee Des Coyle submitted the wrong final score for their second round game against Castledermot. They insist the game finished 1-10 to 0-9 in their favour but the referee’s report stated the score was in fact 1-9 to 0-10. The difference in scorelines gained added significance when Monasterevin finished in ninth place in the final league table, level with Eadestown on four points and with just two points separating the two clubs on scoring difference.

If the score Monasterevin insist is right is accepted they leapfrog Eadestown into eighth place and gain a place in the quarter-finals.

The club submitted an appeal to the Kildare CCC but it was thrown out on the basis the only score the CCC recognise is the one in the referee’s report. This is despite of Monasterevin evidence including a written statement from their opponents on the day and also four of the six club officials who acted as linesmen and umpires.

Once that failed, Monasterevin set about compiling a new appeal for the Leinster Council.

Assuming everything is in order with the appeal and without the improbable event of the Leinster Council convening on Friday to discuss the matter, the quarter-finals will now not go ahead as planned.

I'm not to far from Monasterevin myself and have lots of relatives there, I asked a few of them would they accept a play off against Eadestown for the right to play Kill and I was nearly killed.

Des Coyle needs to stand up and admit he made a mistake for the good of every one in Kildare football.

Similiar thing happened in the All-Ireland Vocational Schools Final this year. The ref had it as a draw at the end of full time but Donegal actually won by a point. The ref insisted he was correct and despite the intervention of media (both Cork, Donegal and neutrals) he played extra time. That finished level and a replay was fixed which hankfully Donegal won!

Point is that the powers that be will accept the referees decision...

im 99% sure that its in the rules that the referees score is accepted as final.it was in the bit at the start of the rule book with all the technical stuff like the pitch dimensions wich i never read too often and im a few years out of refereeing now
