Kilkenny GAA chairman PJ Kenny has described the "extreme frustration" felt in the county after the scoreboard error in their All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Tipperary.

Having already received an apology from Croke Park for the error that impacted the closing stages of the fixture — which eventual All-Ireland champions Tipp won by two-points — Kenny has detailed the thinking in Kilkenny, insisting that despite knowing a replay would not occur, they were in contact with GAA authorities during a period he described as "very stressful".
