Croker chiefs planning to look into timing of televised clashes

GAA OFFICIALS will examine the timing of live championship matches once the current campaign is over after last-minute delays to a number of fixtures which were caused by delayed games and extra-time.

Kerry and Cork’s drawn meeting in Killarney a fortnight ago was pushed back due to an unexplained delay in restarting the second-half in the earlier Monaghan v Armagh game in Belfast on June 6.

The Laois and Dublin Leinster SHC fixture in Nowlan Park two weekends ago was also held up, much to the displeasure of Anthony Daly, after a preceding Kilkenny club league game went over its time slot.
