Donegal League disciplinary committee to probe ugly scenes from Premier Division clash

The Donegal League’s disciplinary committee will convene tonight to discuss the incidents from a controversial Premier Division match on Sunday.

Referee Alistair Gourley sent six people off, four players and two club members, in the heated game between title challengers Kilmacrennan Celtic and Castlefin Celtic.

The disciplinary committee of the League will examine the referee’s report and discuss the sanctions to be handed down.

Ugly scenes marred the game at Flagpole Park in Rathmullan.

The game ended in a 0-0 draw.

Kilmac had Kieran Gorman sent off in the early stages of the game.

With just less than 20 minutes to go, Kilmac were reduced to nine men when Daire McDaid was given his marching orders. Kilmacrennan clubman Adrian Doherty was also banished at the same time.

Deep in stoppage time, the game descended into chaos and the official blew for full time with a fracas ongoing.

After the final whistle, Castlefin player Gary McNulty and Kilmacrenann player Mark Friel were shown red cards, while a member of Kilmac’s backroom staff is understood also to have been reported by the official.
