UCC and Shannon agree to promotion/relegation issue

By Diarmuid Kearney
Following on from the weekend, the National Competitions Committee (NCC) met earlier today to discuss the UCC v Shannon Division 1B promotion/relegation match which was abandoned on Saturday after 68 minutes due to the medical incident which occurred. The player involved continues to make progress in hospital and we are all very thankful for that.
Having discussed the matter and taking into account the score, the time elapsed, and the circumstances around the incident itself, the NCC have determined that the score of 31-12 in favour of UCC at the time the match was abandoned will stand, and that UCC are deemed the winners of the match and will remain in Division 1B of the Energia All-Ireland League for 2026-27, leaving Shannon in 2A.
The NCC also wish to acknowledge the understanding shown by Shannon RFC in coming to this decision.
