Cork and Clare seek earlier start for replay

Clare have requested their All-Ireland final replay with Cork be brought forward by at least one hour after the GAA confirmed a 5pm throw-in for September 28.

Both counties have criticised the late Saturday start, which is 90 minutes later than Sunday’s throw-in.

Cork PRO Tracey Kennedy described it as “not an ideal time” for players while Clare chairman Michael McDonagh confirmed they have contacted Croke Park about the decision on behalf of their panel and supporters.
