Armagh, Cavan and Fermanagh penalised over 'fielding of ineligible players' in Dr McKenna Cup

The result of Armagh v Down has been awarded to Down while the clash of Cavan and Fermanagh is ‘null and void.’

THE ARMAGH, CAVAN AND Fermanagh football teams have been penalised over the ‘fielding of ineligible players’ in their recent Dr McKenna Cup games.

A statement from Ulster GAA today reads that Armagh’s 3-10 to 0-10 win over Down this week has been overturned and that the points have now been awarded to Down.

Fermanagh defeated Cavan 1-12 to 1-10 but that result has now been declared “null and void” with neither team being awarded the points.

“Following a meeting of Ulster CCC,” the statement begins, “reported breaches of Pre Season 3rd Level Policy & Regulations were reviewed, and the following decisions taken in relation to the fielding of ineligible players: The Fermanagh v Cavan game is null and void and no team is awarded the points. The Armagh v Down game is awarded to Down.”

Ulster GAA did not identify the players in question who were found to be ineligible.
