GAA president Seán Kelly has hit out at the use of sponsored hurls in yesterday's drawn All-Ireland senior hurling semi-final between Wexford and Cork.

Three players, two from Wexford and one from Cork, carried logos from bookmaker Paddy Power on their sticks.

The Games Administration Committee of the GAA plans to meet this week to discuss the matter and will decide what action, if any, to take on Wexford's Paul Codd and Damien Fitzhenry and Cork star Seán Og Ó hAilpín.

Kelly said the move was against the rules of the organisation and that the GAA could possibly ask Paddy Power to withdraw from their corporate box at Croke Park.
