St Eunan’s are considering whether or not to appeal the result of Saturday’s Donegal SFC preliminary quarter-final against Termon.
The Burn Road side ran out winners on a 1-16 to 0-18 scoreline after extra-time, after the sides had been gridlocked at 1-12 for Termon to St Eunan’s 0-15 at full-time at the Donegal GAA Centre in Convoy.
St Eunan’s players at the time and afterwards made the point to referee Marc Brown that when substitute Enda McCormick punched over what proved to be the winning point, Termon had 16 players on the field.
McCormick scored instantly with his first possession after being introduced, although the man he was to replace, John James Sweeney, was in the St Eunan’s arc as McCormick picked up possession before turning and scoring in the seventh minute of the second period of extra-time. McCormick's score put Termon two in front before Shane O'Donnell of St Eunan's pulled one back, with what proved to be the final score of the match.
Termon have since been drawn against Naomh Conaill in the quarter-finals, which are scheduled for this coming weekend.
