Connacht GAA chiefs confirmed last night that the fixture does not have any provision for backdoor entry by the losers.

New York came very close to one of the greatest GAA shocks in championships history in the Big Apple but the dismissal of two of their players helped Galway score 1-2 in injury-time to win by 2-13 to 0-12.
