Na Fianna were today awarded a High Court injunction to prevent Raheny and UCD contesting their Dublin county championship semi-final tomorrow.

On Tuesday night, the GAC expelled Na Fianna from the championship for using too many substitutes in their quarter-final win over Raheny.

Na Fianna are appealing that decision and intend to take their case to the Leinster Council at a specially convened meeting of the provincial body this evening.

In the meantime, officials from Na Fianna successfully petitioned the High Court to prevent tomorrow's semi-final taking place as scheduled, regardless of the outcome of tonight's appeal. Theinjunction continues until Monday.
