Louth Senior Club Hurling Championship final looks set to go ahead on Sunday as planned
The Louth County Board was asked by The Argus/Drogheda Independent on Friday morning for a statement regarding the decision made by Leinster Council and the implications - if any - it could have for the player and the status of Sunday's final. The media query was ignored with the county board remaining silent. The only indication that the game was still going ahead came at around 11pm on Friday night in a Louth GAA Facebook post which stated: 'It's nearly Louth SHC Final day. St Fechins v Naomh Moninne with it all on the line.' It advises the you can pick up your official match programme for €5 and that the game will be shown live on Clubber with details to follow. An accompanying image advises the game will take place at the Integral GAA Grounds, Drogheda on Sunday at 3.30pm Fox transferred to the Termonfeckin outfit before the Championship started in July and played in the opening round clash against Naomh Moninne, scoring six points in a 2-18 to 1-14 victory. The former Belmont man then hit 0-5 in the second round drawn game against Knockbridge which qualified them for Sunday's final in Drogheda. Knockbridge subsequently lost to Naomh Moninne who claimed the other final spot. It's understood that Knockbridge raised concerns about the transfer and their appeal was upheld by Leinster Council.
