The GAA's Management Committee has ruled that if teams in Division 2A of the NFL finish level on points, they must face play-offs. The decision not to use scoring difference to decide the standings was taken in the wake of Offaly forfeiting a league point from their drawn Division 2A clash with Longford after it was ruled that Ken Casey - who had been sent off in an under 21 match - was ineligible to play. This looks set to impact on deciding relegation places next season, but if it also comes into play in deciding the top two divisions, it could delay the Division 2 semi-finals. The semi-finals have already had to be shifted from April 15 because of the postponed Division 2A clash between London and Leitrim, which will be the only game in the division going ahead this weekend.
