Former provincial treasurer insists “when you have a game that is in bloom, it doesn’t make sense to nip it in the bud”

The possibility of provincial final replays has to return to harness the full value of Gaelic games, especially hurling, says Munster GAA PRO and its former treasurer Dermot “Weeshie” Lynch.

A Central Council-sponsored motion to allow for provincial finals level after extra-time to go to a second date will be debated at Congress next February. If successful, it will apply from 2026.
