Replay throw-in will stay at 5pm

GAA President Liam O’Neill has told Cork and Clare that there’ll be no change to the throw-in time for the All-Ireland hurling final replay.

Clare have formally requested that the game be brought forward by at least an hour from the scheduled 5pm throw-in time.

Among a list of reasons given by Banner chairman Michael McDonagh was the safety of supporters travelling home at such a late hour after the showpiece. Cork have stated their concerns too.
