Rathdowney-Errill defeated Colt-Shanahoe in last Friday evening’s Laois Shopping Centre Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship quarter-final at O’Keefe Park, but the result may not be final.
Referee Patrick Phelan blew the whistle in the 58th minute, with significant stoppages still to be played following an injury to Rathdowney-Errill’s Paddy Hassett and multiple substitutions.
Colt-Shanahoe have lodged an official objection, and Laois GAA’s Competitions Controls Committee is due to meet on Tuesday evening to determine whether the game will stand or be replayed.
Rathdowney-Errill led throughout, with Hassett scoring 2-8, including six frees, while Jacques Dowling added 0-5. Colt-Shanahoe’s Nathan Dunne (0-6, five frees) and James Keyes (0-5) kept them in touch, and Paudie McDonald’s goal briefly narrowed the gap. Hassett’s second goal late in the game effectively sealed the win.
The victory sets Rathdowney-Errill up for a semi-final clash with Mountmellick, joining Camross, who had secured their spot with a win over Clonaslee St Manman’s.
