Kilbride (Carlow) were playing in the Leinster GAA Club Championship today against O'Connells of Louth.
It's a great honour to reach this stage of competition because it means you've won out our county championship.
Well, Kilbride couldn't have foreseen how the game was going to go today.
With many matches involving South East teams today being called off, this one went ahead at Castlebellingham.
Referee Noel McKenna of Kildare started by handing the Louth club a straight Red card

The Carlow refs are in for an easy time of it next season now though!
We’ll never complain about a referee in @Carlow_GAA again!
