The GAA’s national fixtures body warned the association risked facing “reputational damage” because of clock-hooter issues prior to Sunday’s controversial ending in Mullingar.

Meath won their Division 2 derby with a Conor Duke goal that Westmeath manager Dermot McCabe claimed was struck and scored after the siren was sounded in TEG Cusack Park.
