The hurlers of O’Donovan Rossa will bid to reach the Antrim SHC semi-finals when they face Loughgiel, but their hand has been severely weakened ahead of Sunday’s game at Dunsilly (5pm).
It has been confirmed that Stephen Beatty’s appeal against the red card he received in Rossa’s final group game against champions Dunloy was thrown out by the Antrim CCC.
Beatty claimed that he was the victim of mistaken identity when he was issued with a late red card for something which he allegedly said to an umpire.
