CONFUSION SURROUNDS THE destination of the Christy Ring Cup following Meath’s ‘victory’ over Antrim at Croke Park on Saturday.
The final score was announced as a 2-18 to 1-20 victory in favour of Meath but members of the media and Antrim backroom team present all believed the game had ended in a 2-17 to 1-20 draw.
GAA officials have since confirmed to The42 that a replay is likely to be ordered when the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) meets on Tuesday morning.
