Doherty clears up extra-time confusion during minor clash

GAA national match officials manager Pat Doherty has revealed he informed both Galway and Clare before the end of normal time in Sunday’s All-Ireland MHC semi-final that there would be extra-time if they finished level.

Doherty, who is also the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) secretary, was the person on duty on the sideline for Sunday’s games.

However, he also acknowledged there was no notification of the provision in the match programme, as is usually the case, and it “very possibly” could have been better promoted.
