GAA holds off on replay start time

Leinster Council chiefs will meet later today to finalise details of Saturday’s provincial semi-final replay between Galway and Kilkenny in Tullamore.

A number of factors are at play before officials can settle on a start time: the possibility of Offaly securing a home draw in the All-Ireland qualifiers this morning while they are also exploring the slim possibility of live television coverage of the clash.

Next Saturday is a busy day for RTÉ Sports with the Irish Derby from the Curragh and World Cup action in Brazil. The other GAA rights holders, Sky Sports, will be broadcasting the Ulster SFC semi-final between Armagh and Monaghan that evening also.
