Offaly win to stand despite sixth sub controversy

Offaly’s win over Kildare in Croke Park last Sunday in the Leinster Senior Football Championship will stand despite the subsequent controversy over the Faithful County’s use of six subs.

The Leinster GAC met this morning and decided to endorse the referee's report on the game, ruling to uphold the original result.

The Management Committee of the GAA decided not to accept the Leinster Council’s request to interpret the rules over specification and blood substitutes.
