The Meath County Board have announced that there will be no replay offered to Louth.
That is as far they are concerned is the end of the matter.
Key part of the statement
The referee has indicated in his report that he blew the whistle for a penalty but changed his mind and awarded the goal by Joe Sheridan when he saw that the ball had crossed the line.
Strangely this was not revealed by the GAA, putting even more pressure on Meath.
