Dromid unable to pay fine
February 04, 2012The monies owed is a result of the investigation launched after a mass braw involving the Kerry club and Tyrone outfit Derrytresk in the All-Ireland club JFC semi final at Portlaoise.
Derrytresk were handed a €5,000 fine and had eight players suspended, while Dromid were handed a €2,000 and four of their players were suspended.
However, Dromid chairman Michael Sheehan told the Irish Independent that in the current economic climate, raising such money was not easy.
"Every club in the country knows how hard fundraising is in the current economic climate," said Dromid Pearses chairman Michael Sheehan.
"For a small club like ours to be hit with such a big fine, that is going to be extremely hard for us," he said. "We will leave it up to the players involved to decide whether they want to appeal their suspensions, so we need to talk to them first and see what they want to do," he added. Tweet
