Louth’s hopes of being offered a replay of Sunday’s controversial Leinster SFC final against Meath have been dashed.
The Wee County were denied a first provincial title in 53 years following Joe Sheridan’s last-gasp goal, which was allowed in error by Tyrone referee Martin Sludden.
The Meath County Board took the decision not to offer their neighbours a replay following consultations with player representatives on Tuesday night.
A statement from the Royal County read, “The Executive met for an hour after earlier holding discussions with team management and players. The players had indicated they were not in favour of a re-fixture.
“The Executive have supported the stance of the players and they say, as far as they are concerned, that is the end of the matter.”
