Massive sanctions imposed on Naas by Kildare CCC
Kildare CCC prpopose heavy fine, officials suspended, team barred from competing in intermediate hurling in 2027
The Kildare CCC of the GAA County Board met on Friday following the decision of Naas to withdraw from the UPMC Intermediate Hurling final against Leixlip a couple of weeks ago.
The proposed sanctions on the Naas Club as a result of not fulfilling that hurling decider are some of the heaviest ever imposed on any club in the county.
The sanctions that are proposed include a fine of €7,000; officers of the club (executive) including the chairman, secretary and treasurer, being suspended for three months commencing the 1st January 2027, while the club is also barred from competing in the intermediate hurling championship in 2027.
So very harsh sanctions indeed.
It is understood that the Naas Club have already lodged an appeal, initially to the Hearings Committee; possibly followed by a second Hearings (taking into account that proper proceedings were followed) and so on; ultimately this may end up with the Disputes Resolution Authority (DRA).
