The controversial 2020 Donegal SFC final replay has been postponed again.

The game, between Naomh Conaill and Kilcar, was due to be played this Wednesday night at Sean MacCumhaill park.

That followed a successful appeal by the Kilcar club, who argued that Naomh Conaill fielded four substitutes - one more than the permitted three - during extra time in the August 14th meeting, which Naomh Conaill won 4-2 on penalties.

Last Sunday, the Donegal Competitions Controls Committee ruled that Naomh Conaill were in breach of regulation and ordered a replay.

However, the saga took a further twist today as the Ulster Hearings Committee, following an appeal by Naomh Conaill, ruled that another rule was infringed in relation to video evidence.

The appeals process will now re-start with the Donegal CCC set to re-hear Kilcar’s objection.
