The GAA has confirmed that they intervened to ask London GAA not kick the Irish Guards out of the Association.
The London county board suspended a motion for debate at last night's meeting which called for the club from a regiment of the British Army to be denied a place in this year's London Junior Football Championship.
GAA president Aogan O Fearghail confirmed that GAA HQ had decided to intervene.
"We’ve written to the London GAA board and we’ve asked them not to make a decision until we, as a management, have a look at that because it’s nothing to do with one club, it’s all clubs," he said.
"We’ve close to 2000 clubs. If we accept a club into our association, having done that then, it shouldn’t be so simple to just remove them."
