Dubs demand second chance for All-Ireland losing quarter-finalists

A DUBLIN motion aimed at securing a second chance for provincial champions if they lose at the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final stage has been passed at the county’s annual convention.

The St Olaf’s proposal could now appear on the official Clár at next year’s annual GAA Congress after delegates voted unanimously in favour of the idea at Dublin GAA’s annual think-tank on Monday evening.

Dublin county board chairman Gerry Harrington intends to bring the motion to Congress in Newcastle, Co. Down next April, subject to approval from the GAA’s motions committee.
