Championship statistics

Miscellaneous

  • Following their All-Ireland final replay defeat, Ballysaggart lodged on objection claiming that Creggan Kickhams fielded an illegal player. Ballysaggart believed that Conor Small shouldn’t have played in either final game or in the Creggan Kickhams semi-final win over Fullen Gaels as he was underage. According to rule 6.16, a player must be over 16 years to play an adult game. It also states to be “over” 16 the player’s 16th birthday must fall prior to January 1 of the championship year. The Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) subsequently rejected Ballysaggart's appeal, however, no explanation was given.[3][4]
