Cavan's Swanlinbar have objected to the result of last Sunday's AIB Ulster junior club football final on the grounds that opponents Corduff fielded an ineligible player.

Swad, who lost the Kingspan Breffni Park decider to the Monaghan champions on a 0-8 to 2-7 scoreline, claim that Corduff fielded a player who was not eligible to play in adult championship football as per Rule 6.18 of the Official Guide.

They contend that Corduff substitute Padraic Keenan, who came on during the second-half and scored a vital goal, breaches the rule as he is still an Under 16 player. A player must be 17 or over to play adult championship football.

If the objection succeeds, Corduff could be stripped of the title and the game awarded to Swanlinbar. Tweet
