Cork and Laois minor replay to get all-clear today

THE GAA’s Games Administration Committee is expected to give the go-ahead for a replay next week-end of the Cork/Laois All-Ireland minor football championship quarter-final.

The investigation into the brawl which developed after their drawn game in Limerick a fortnight ago was finalised at the week-end, but the findings won’t be released until this morning. However, there is the likelihood of individual players from both sides and one team mentor being suspended, with the county committees also being fined.

The game is likely to be replayed in Thurles, as a curtain-raiser to the All-Ireland intermediate hurling final between Cork and Kilkenny.
