Sarsfields GAA Club has decided not to lodge any further appeal regarding the abandoned Whitewater Shopping Centre U23 football quarter final..
The quarter final against Naas was level at full-time.
The Sash manager was red carded in the first half but wanted to be re-admitted for extra time, which the referee turned down.
Following some verbal exchanges between a club official and the referee, the latter abandoned the game, without extra time being played
