    Its the provincial council that makes the decision

    Was that always the case or have they just taken it on themselves? Could they have decided a replay instead after the match?

    Well with regards to the FBD the decision was not made on a whim as you suggest.

    The Connacht council had decided it before Christmas and had got the all clear from central council.

    Ah right, cheers. If missed that as the first I'd heard of it at all was when it happened. Hopefully it's clarified and put in place permanently across all competitions at all levels.
