Down look for Christy Ring replay

WESTMEATH officials have reacted cautiously to the news that Down are to seek a replay of the Christy Ring Cup final.

The Ulster county have forwarded a letter of complaint to the Central Disciplinary Council (CDC) after Limerick referee Denis Richardson ended the first half two minutes early at Croke Park.

In the letter, Down made reference to the Offaly-Clare All-Ireland semi-final of seven years ago when Jimmy Cooney blew the final whistle two minutes at Croke Park.
