The fallout from the Allianz FL game involving Monaghan and Kildare shows no sign of abating, as Monaghan have once more been told they will lose home advantage for a league game.

The Farney County were originally charged with 'Disruptive conduct of their players' due to a melee in their home game against Kildare. They were hit with a proposed €5,000 fine by the CCCC which they decided to appeal.

The CHC changed the penalty to forfeiture of home advantage of their game against Louth. The Central Appeals Committee upheld that penalty but the DRA then overturned it, and told the CHC to process the original appeal once more.

That allowed Monaghan to host Louth in Clones last weekend, but the CHC met yesterday and imposed a new penalty on the county, that they must play their next scheduled home Allianz FL game at a neutral venue.

Monaghan were due to play Galway in Inniskeen on 25 March, but if the new penalty sticks, then the game will go ahead at a neutral venue.

Monaghan were notified of the reconvened CHC meeting but did not attend and neither did they avail of the facility offered to attend by way of telephone-conferencing.

They can once more appeal the decision through the Central Appeals Committee and if that fails, then go to the DRA once more. Tweet
