Dungarvan will give up the Waterford IFC title that they won earlier this month after being found in breach of Covid-19 guidelines.
An investigation by the Waterford county board found the club guilty of fielding a player who was awaiting confirmation of a Covid-19 test in the final win over Kill at Walsh Park. The player in question later received a positive result.
Dungarvan issued an apology arising from the incident and according to the Waterford county board, they have accepted the sanctions that were handed down to them, including individual suspensions and an undisclosed fine.
A statement from Waterford GAA this evening reads: "Further to the investigation into matters arising from the Intermediate Football Final and the positive Covid-19 case, the Management Executive of the Waterford County Board wishes to advise that the individual suspensions, and the penalties of disqualification and fine for Dungarvan GAA Club, have been accepted."
"The Management Executive would like to thank the officers and members of Dungarvan GAA for their full co-operation with the investigation.
"Waterford GAA will be making no further comment on the matter."
