At a Galway Competitions Control Committee meeting on 2 October 2014 it was ruled that Turloughmore would forfeit their Group C game against Beagh which was played on 14 September 2014 due to the fielding of an ineligible player.
Turloughmore's Matthew Keating had been granted an inter-county transfer to Long Island Gaels in New York deeming him ineligible to play in the Galway Senior Hurling Championship as it is not permitted for a player to play in two different championships in a single year.

The group game was forfeited without award of the 2 points to Beagh.
Nevertheless, Beagh moved to second in the group and were therefore eligible to play Ardrahan in the quarter finals.
All this despite the fact that Turloughmore and Ardrahan had already contested the quarter final on 27 September 2014 - a game which has now also been declared null and void.

Turloughmore appealed the decision to the Connacht Council on 8 October 2014 who upheld the decision.
A further appeal was lodged with the Disputes Resolution Authority (DRA).

On 11 October 2014 the Galway County Board released a statement stating that they will establish a new investigation committee to reprocess the request from Beagh to investigate the composition of the Turloughmore team that played in the Galway Senior Hurling Championship Game on 14 September 2014.
Consequently, the quarter final between Ardrahan and Beagh scheduled for 12 October 2014 was postponed.
The new investigation on 22 October 2014 confirmed the initial ruling - that Turloughmore be eliminated from the championship.

Turloughmore's final appeal against their expulsion from the competition failed on 17 November with an official statement released saying "At a hearing before the Disputes Resolution Authority Tribunal, held in Mullingar on Monday evening, 17 November 2014, the appeal of CLG Turloughmore against the decision of the Galway Competitions Control Committee was unsuccessful.
”This allows the Galway Senior Hurling Championship to recommence immediately."
