“The CCCC of the GAA can confirm that following an investigation into the involvement of an ineligible player in recent Lory Meagher Cup games against Cavan and Louth, the relevant penalties provided for in rule have been applied (these include forfeiture of game but without award to the opposing team).

Monaghan have accepted this penalty meaning under rule they lose four points collected in those victories leaving them with two points in the table standings.

In the case of a team forfeiting a game without award to the opposition, from a scoring difference perspective only, it is treated as if the game never took place (i.e. no score for or against either team involved). The scoring differences on the revised table reflect this.

In the event of Monaghan/Louth or Monaghan/Cavan finishing in second place and tied on equal points with each other only, a play-off will be required to see who progresses to the final.

In all other circumstances, teams tied on points in the league table will be sorted in accordance with Competition Regulations and on the basis of scoring difference (per the table attached and based on the outcome of the games yet to take place)”.

Monaghan face Longford in Inniskeen this Saturday.
