An intervention from the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) on Thursday brought an end to the All-Ireland senior club football final saga.

The association’s national fixtures body were able to convince Kilmacud Crokes to withdraw their appeal against the committee’s decision to order a replay. As a result, they were then able to formally award the Stillorgan club the Andy Merrigan Cup they had lifted last month before the outcome was contested.
