No replay offer from Meath

MEATH are bracing themselves for a huge GAA backlash following confirmation last night that they will not offer a re-match to Louth in the wake of Sunday’s controversial Leinster SFC final climax.

On a dramatic day where the one constant was a glaring lack of GAA leadership on the issue, the executive of Meath County Board confirmed that they would not be acceding to requests for the game to be re-fixed.

It is understood that the Meath players, angered by reports of post-match poor sportsmanship from Louth players and supporters, were “not inclined” to play the Leinster final a second time.
