The 2015 championship will not be one to remember for the Camogie Association.
We had camogie and lady footballers being forced to play two games in the space of 24 hours
We had a referee playing a 35 minute half in a group game
Then we had ‘tossgate’.
And now we have yet another controversy as Wexford look set to lodge an appeal against their All-Ireland semi final loss to Galway this past weekend.

According to various reports the Wexford county camogie board are lodging an appeal against the 2-10 to 1-14 loss to the Connacht side at the weekend over two key issues.
The game was decided by a late Niamh McGrath 45 that was taken two and half minutes past the allotted four minutes that was allowed for.
Wexford are lodging an objection over a 45 by their own player Kate Kelly that was waved wide, but are querying why the referee did not consult his umpires over the shot which they claim video evidence shows was a point.
The board are also understood to be objecting to the result after referee Cathal Egan played over six minutes additional time when four minutes was the time allocated at the end of the game.
Hard on wexford camogie today, lots of questions on time allowed, galway just played and played tho

Geez the Wexford Camoige team were robbed. Total joke from the referee to play 6 mins of extra-time when 4 was announced. @OfficialWexGAA

The objection has been lodged by the county board and the appeal is likely to be heard later this week.
