Avondale win appeal

The appeal was centred around the fact that Wicklow town outfit St. Patrick’s were not thrown out of the championship until after they had given a second walkover. Avondale contended that St. Patrick’s should have ejected from the championship after the first walkover.

Before the second walkover, St. Patrick’s played and beat Avondale. As a result of that defeat, Avondale finished behind Kilcoole and Kiltegan in the race for the last two semi-final places.

Avondale will now meet defending champions Glenealy in the last four.
