It looks like Armagh's All-Ireland Senior Football Championship campaign is not over yet.

It is understood that the GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee have recommended that the Laois v Armagh qualifier that went down last weekend be replayed, according to a report from RTE. Laois held off a late resurgence by the Orchard County in Round 1A at O'Moore Park, last Saturday, to score a 1-10 to 0-10 win. However, it emerged after the game that the hosts had used seven substitutes, one more than is permitted under the current rules. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/745012476484390912?lang=en There were concerns that Armagh would take Laois' place against Clare in Round 2A of the qualifiers on July 2 as the GAA rules state that breaking the substitutes rule could result in an 'award of game to the opposing team, or replay, or fine, depending on the circumstances'. However, the committee are reportedly opting for the do-over. ***Update. The tie will be played on Saturday, July 2 in Portlaoise, with the throw-in at 3pm. https://twitter.com/RTEgaa/status/745326511549464580 SNAPCHAT
