Just five days later, Moyles lined out in the Quarter-final against Dunshaughlin. He played despite being given a directive that he was ineligible to line out despite referee Dudley Farrell admitting that he sent the player off in the wrong. After losing the tie, Dunshaughlin lodged a successful appeal and progressed to the Semi-finals at the expense of Blackhall. An objection to Leinster Council by the Kilcloon/Batterstown club was lost although the 24 weeks suspension, which was given to Meath county star Moyles, was lifted. When Blackhall Gaels club threatened to take their case to a higher court, the Meath County Board put a proposal to the two sides that the game be ’replayed.’ Both clubs sportingly agreed and the replay finally took place 42 days after the original fixture.
