Laois may avoid being kicked out of the championship

The role of the sideline official in permitting Laois’ use of seven subs against Armagh in Saturday’s qualifier may see them avoid being dumped out of the championship, writes John Fogarty.

At their weekly meeting in Croke Park yesterday, the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) discussed the matter of Laois exceeding the maximum number of six replacements. A decision will be made today.
