Following our semi-final match against St Marys Aghagallon on Sunday 31st October, Roger Casements Portglenone sought clarification from Antrim CCC regarding the “finish on the day” protocol applied during this game.
The Committee of the Club met to discuss the response provided by Antrim CCC. This response, in our opinion, confirmed that the game was not completed in accordance with the ratified 2021 Championship regulations and also acknowledged that Antrim clubs had been “inadvertently issued the incorrect document”. This had led to much confusion and uncertainty both during and after completion of the game for both players and match day officials. The club remains of the opinion that there was a serious breach of rule and an appeal to Ulster Council would have been successful.
However the Club has decided not to pursue an appeal process and wish to make it clear that at no stage had an appeal been submitted, despite contradictory reports.
Our Club prides itself on integrity, fair play and sportsmanship and we wish both Kickhams Creggan and St Marys Aghagallon the best of luck for the final.

The Committee of Roger Casements Portglenone.
