Loughrea Crush Slaughtneil to Reach All-Ireland Final as Killeen Red Card Sparks Appeal

With no broadcast footage of the stoppage-time incident, Loughrea fear Cullen Killeen could be ruled out for Ballygunner unless their challenge to the dismissal succeeds.

Overview

  • Loughrea beat Slaughtneil 2-22 to 0-15 at Parnell Park to book a place in the All-Ireland Club SHC final.
  • Goals from Anthony Burns and Vince Morgan powered a dominant display, with Killeen earlier named TG4’s man of the match.
  • Referee Johnny Murphy showed Cullen Killeen a straight red in stoppage time for an off-the-ball clash with Brendan Rogers.
  • Manager Tommy Kelly confirmed the club will appeal, but TG4’s cameras did not capture the incident and GAA cases typically rely on video evidence.
  • If the sanction stands, Killeen is set to miss the Croke Park final against Ballygunner on the weekend of January 17/18.
