Tyrone legend Sean Cavanagh says it’s the GAA’s responsibility to address 16-man controversy

Sean Kavanagh has accused the GAA of shirking responsibility following the fallout from the 16-man controversy at the recent All-Ireland Senior Football Club Championship Final.

Kilmacud Crokes beat Watty Graham's Glen but footage soon emerged of a 16th Kilmacud man on the pitch defending a late Glen free.

Glen have since lodged an official objection to the result after apparently being told by the GAA that the Central Competition Control Committee (CCCC) would not investigate the issue, despite the rules allowing for this. Kilmacud then launched a counter-objection. A hearing is expected to take place this week.
