Draws in knockout games
At the November 2022 County Committee Meeting to decide structures for the club championships for 2023, a club brought a motion calling for a replay to be scheduled if knockout matches finish level after extra time on the first occasion, rather than proceeding directly to a penalty shootout.
Both the CCC and Coiste Bainistí opposed this motion as there are no free weekends available in the club championship calendar. Bobby Goff, Chairperson CCC, noted that adopting the motion would lead to a situation where clubs may have to play a knockout round on one weekend, a replay midweek, and the next knockout round the following weekend.
He further advised that this could include a scenario where a club may have to play a county semi-final on a Saturday or Sunday, a county semi-final replay the following Tuesday or Wednesday and then a county final the following Saturday or Sunday.
Despite the potential for a club needing to play three games in a seven-day window, clubs voted by a large majority to approve the motion.
As we now enter the knockout phase of our hurling championships, the CCC will schedule replays in accordance with the result of this vote should a knockout game finish level after extra time.
