Wexford have launched an appeal against the result of their All-Ireland Camogie Senior Championship semi-final defeat to Galway last weekend.

The Wexford Camogie board confirmed to RTÉ Sport that it was appealing on two grounds: the failure to award a legitimate point to their side in the first half and referee Cathal Egan's decision to play two and a half minutes more than the four minutes of additional time signalled at the end of the game.

Niamh McGrath scored a 45 in the seventh minute of additional time to secure a 1-14 to 2-10 victory for Galway that saw them book their place in the All-Ireland final against Cork.

Wexford believe video evidence shows a 45 that the umpires awarded was incorrectly ruled wide by the referee (rule 41.5) and that he played the wrong amount of time (rule 41.6).
