Connacht tests out the ‘Golden Score’

GAA bosses in Connacht have introduced a “Golden Score” to decide games which finish level after extra-time in a provincial hurling league.

The Ireland West Connacht Hurling League gets underway this weekend, with all four quarter-finals taking place.

Mayo, Leitrim, Roscommon and Sligo will field their county senior teams, along with the college teams from NUIG, GMIT and Sligo IT.
