Correct procedure was followed and Kilmacud Crokes have no quibble with result after bizarre semi-final in Newry , leaving Glen to prepare for showdown with St Brigid’s. Spectators struggled to see action on the fair side of the pitch for much of Sunday's All-Ireland club semi-final between Glen and Kilmacud Crokes in Newry .
The stadium was covered in fog and while several other GAA fixtures across the country were postponed on Sunday afternoon, the Glen-Kilmacud Crokes clash went ahead as scheduled at 3.45pm. It was impossible for spectators sitting in the stand or perched on the terrace to see the far side of the pitch for most of the encounter, while the fog also made it difficult for viewers watching live coverage on TG4. On the field, at ground level, visibility was not as severely diminished. Croke Park representatives were in touch with Ulster chief executive Brian McAvoy – who is also a member of the National Executive Committee – early in the afternoon to check on the situation in Newry
