The Leinster Club SFC quarter-finals brought a bizarre refereeing gaffe which brought a premature end to the match between St Vincent's and Seneschalstown in Parnell Park. The Dublin champions equalized in the final minute of normal time, before referee Eugene Murtagh blew for full-time shortly afterwards although extra-time had been scheduled. Both teams left the field and the spectators departed, and though a prominent refereeing official attempted to signal the mistake to Murtagh, the message wasn’t delivered in time. With the other quarter-final clash of Moorefield and Dromard at St Conleth's Park going to extra-time, the error was accentuated.https://www.irishexaminer.com/farming/arid-10047693.html Leinster crux after referee's extra-time gaffe 11 November 2007 Irishexaminer.ie 11 November 2007 After their Leinster Club SFC quarter-final second replay tie with Dromard, Moorefield were hit with three player bans and stripped of home advantage in their next two Leinster club matches for their part in a brawl which broke out on the pitch towards the end of their tie. The first of these two matches were against Tyrrellspass and the next was in 2010 against Portlaoise, the next time they qualified for the Leinster SFC.http://www.hoganstand.com/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=86591 Moorefield to appeal bans 5 December 2007 Hoganstand.com 5 December 2007 References External links All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship Category:All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship
