Shamrock Rovers' protest over Dawson Devoy's eligibilty for Bohemians in last month's FAI Cup clash has been rejected by an independent disciplinary committee.Devoy rejoined Bohs from MK Dons in July and made his debut in the game against the Hoops, which Bohs won 1-0.He had a suspension from his time in England when sent off in the EFL Trophy, a competition which includes senior and youth sides.The FAI did not deem Devoy was suspended for the FAI Cup and instead would serve a ban for the league game against Dundalk, which he subsequently did.Devoy was highly influential in the cup game against Shamrock Rovers as Dayle Rooney's penalty dumped Bohs' bitter rivals out of the competition at the first hurdle.A statement released by the FAI on Thursday read: "Following the conclusion of a disciplinary hearing, an Independent Disciplinary Committee has rejected Shamrock Rovers FC's protest relating to Dawson Devoy's eligibility in their fixture versus Bohemian FC in the Sports Direct Men's FAI Cup on 19 July 2024."In accordance with the FAI Disciplinary Regulations, this decision may be appealed."Bohemians welcomed the decision, staing: "In rejecting Shamrock Rovers’ appeal, Bohemian FC’s adherence to the correct process of establishing the eligibility of our player with the FAI has been vindicated."We now look forward to travelling to Tralee on Sunday August 18 to face Kerry FC in the third round for the first-ever meeting between the clubs."
