Laois-Armagh replay has ‘big implications’

Clare manager Colm Collins says the decision to refix the Laois-Armagh qualifier has “big implications” for the ‘A’ side of the All-Ireland SFC qualifiers.

The Banner County were set to face Laois in Ennis on Saturday week but the Central Competition Control Committee (CCCC) yesterday confirmed Laois and Armagh will face each other again in Portlaoise at 3pm that day after the home side were found to have used one substitute too many.

Clare must now wait until July 9 and will be in action right through next month if they are to make the All-Ireland quarter-finals.
