Creavin reiterates stance on final fiasco

A TOP Meath official has stood over the county’s refusal to grant Louth a Leinster football final replay, insisting the GAA ‘cannot run its affairs on sentiment’.

Huge pressure came upon Meath to offer Louth a re-fixture of their infamous Leinster final tie after the Royal County won with an illegal Joe Sheridan goal.

Meath secretary Cyril Creavin is still fuming about the ‘media circus’ that raged in Meath for several days after the July encounter.
