Minor game causes major annoyance
May 05, 2008
Confusion reigned in Navan on Saturday evening last as the ESB Leinster MHC clash between hosts Meath and Laois failed to materialise.
While Laois arrived at the ground at 5pm, they weren't informed 'till three-quarters of an hour later that the match was transferred to Boardsmill, some 20 miles away.
The Laois management, mindful of the fact that their players had been travelling since 1.30pm, refused to travel to the re-arranged venue.
While consultations later took place which lent to the throw-in time being put back by an hour, the match still didn't take place.
The Laois party waited at the alternative Navan O'Mahony's 'till 6.45pm before being informed that Meath would not be travelling to the new venue.
