All-Ireland semi-final forced into replay after bizarre floodlight issue

Sligo and Donegal must do it all over again

The All-Ireland Masters football semi-final between Sligo and Donegal will go to a replay after a bizarre finale to their match on Thursday.

With the scores tied at 1-10 0-13, the sides were given two three-minute periods to determine a winner in extra time, but that ended up level as well at 1-11 0-14. 

But with no floodlighting available at the Sligo GAA Centre of Excellence, it was decided to not have a penalty shootout, and instead go to a replay.

The match itself was ill-tempered, with some believing the match should have gone onto penalties, and Sligo finishing with 14 players.

No date has been set for the replay, with Tyrone and Dublin facing each other in the second semi-final on Saturday in Cavan.
