GAA's CCCC confirm the outcome of All-Ireland senior club football final
The GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee (C.C.C.C.) have "formally" awarded the 2023 All Ireland Club Championship to Kilmacud Crokes following Glen and Crokes' withdrawal from the appeal process.
A statement, released by the GAA, read: "Representatives of Kilmacud Crokes and the C.C.C.C met today to consider the implications of the decision on Friday of Watty Graham’s Glen to withdraw from the process initiated around the 2023 AIB All-Ireland Club Football Final.
"The C.C.C.C, arising from an objection on behalf of Watty Graham’s Glen, had ordered a replay of the game on the basis that in excess of the number of players permitted were on the field for the last play of the game.
"The C.C.C.C Decision – communicated to the two Clubs on Tuesday of last week - had made it clear that this was not a deliberate action and that no fault was attributed to Kilmacud Crokes for the situation they found themselves in.
"Upon a request from the C.C.C.C., Kilmacud Crokes, in the interests of fully resolving the matter, today agreed to withdraw their Appeal to the Central Appeals Committee.
"A subsequent meeting of the C.C.C.C has formally awarded the 2023 All Ireland Club Championship to Kilmacud Crokes."
The Dublin champions, who had 16 active players on the pitch during the last play of the Croke Park final, won the encounter by two points on a scoreline of 1-11 to 1-09.
