The GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee will meet again on Thursday before deciding upon any punishments arising from the Galway-Armagh All Ireland senior football quarter-final.

The CCCC met yesterday reviewing referee David Coldrick's match report.

The Commitee has written to the Meath official seeking clarification regarding red cards shown to Galway captain Sean Kelly, and his Armagh counterpart Aidan Nugent.

Armagh GAA club Clann Eireann has criticised "the vilification of Tiernan Kelly" on social media in the aftermath of the game.

They have asked for due process from the GAA in the wake of Kelly's apparent eye gouge attempt on Damien Comer at Croke Park.

RUGBY

Ireland's tour of New Zealand has begun in Hamilton.

Bundee Aki is captaining his country for the first time as they take on the Maori All Blacks.

There are first tastes of international rugby for Leinster trio Eadestown's Jimmy O'Brien, Ciaran Frawley, Joe McCarthy, as well as Athy's Jeremy Loughman and Suncroft's Cian Prendergast.

At half-time:

Ireland 10 - Maori All Blacks 8


Richie Murphy has made six changes to his Ireland under-20 team for their latest Summer Series encounter with South Africa in Verona.

Suncroft's Sam Prendergast, Naas' Diarmuid Mangan, Michael Moloney, George Hadden, Patrick Campbell and George Shaw all come into the side beaten by France last week.

Kick-off in Italy is at 7pm.

TENNIS

Harmony Tan and Serena Williams produced a three-hour classic on Wimbledon's Centre Court last night, with the French player beating the seven-time champion in a third set tie-break.

Tan's reward is a second round meeting with Sara Sorribes-Tormo.
