Lá na gClub Celebrations in Wicklow Take Unique Twist
Talking Balls Comments
According the Irish Times (and we believe them unless this is an April Fools story that was published today by accident), six players were dismissed on red cards following a row between players from two Wicklow clubs Stratford and Rathnew 10 minutes from the end of their senior league clash on Saturday evening.
One Stratford player ended up in hospital after being knocked out while a player from Rathnew lost two teeth. When the fighting ended, three players from Stratford and two more from Rathnew were lying on the ground unconscious.
The game was held up for 25 minutes and before restarting. Stratford eventually won by 1-13 to 0-9.
We look forward to the deliberations of the Wicklow CCC, the disgust of the Powers That Be, and the excuses, the appeals, the counter-appeals and the visit to the DRA. 125 Years young and still capable of getting the blood pumping. Sure you couldn’t beat it with a big stick.
