Replays on way after tweak

REPLAYS will apply to all senior championship games excluding qualifiers if a Central Council motion is passed at next April’s Congress.

Delegates on Saturday agreed to back a proposal, which is an attempt to amend the motion to introduce the facility of replays for all SFC and SHC games, something both GAA president Christy Cooney and director general Páraic Duffy have described as unworkable.

Duffy had previously suggested a compromise was in the offing to appease provincial councils, who were the major backers of the successful proposal at Congress last April.
