Miscellaneous
[edit | edit source]- The result of the initial Group C game between Aghada and Kildorrery was declared void and a replay ordered because of a descripency regarding the score.[9] A further appeal by Aghada to the Munster Council was upheld and the original result of a draw was restored and the refixture cancelled.[10]
