Glen lodge objection to GAA after controversial conclusion to All-Ireland final against Kilmacud Crokes

Glen have lodged an objection to the GAA after Sunday's controversial defeat to Kilmacud Crokes in the All-Ireland club final.

The Derry side lost by two points to the Dublin giants at Croke Park on Sunday. However, the ending of the game has been shrouded in controversy after video footage appeared to show that the Leinster champions had 16 men on the field in the closing stages.

The GAA refused to get involved in the aftermath of the match, meaning Glen had to raise an objection in order for Croke Park to review the matter.

Glen have indeed raised the issue with the GAA and that the CCCC will meet in the next 24 hours to decide on a course of action, with a replay seemingly the most likely solution.

The news comes less than a day after Glen released a statement expressing their disappointment in the GAA's hesitance to intervene.

"Our chairperson Barry Slowey confirmed we would seek clarification from the GAA on the breach of rules at yesterday's AI SFC club final.

"The GAA have reverted to us today to say that without an official objection from Watty Graham's they will not review this matter.

"This is extremely disappointing for our club to be placed in this position and we now must take a short period of time to ascertain our stance going forward."
