Laois will have to replay their All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Round 1A qualifier with Armagh after using one too many substitutes in their win over the Orchard County.
The match will take place on Saturday, 2 July at O'Moore Park with a 3.0 throw-in.
Mick Lillis’s team had already used their full allocation of six replacements when they sent on Shane Murphy in second half stoppage-time to take over from Brendan Quigley, who had been sent off following a black card.
This meant that they used seven substitutes – one more than is allowed.
Under rule, Croke Park’s Central Competition Control Committee (CCCC) could have awarded the game to Armagh, fined Laois, or ordered a replay and they have opted for the latter.
Laois won at O’Moore Park on Saturday by 1-10 to 0-10, but only led by two points when Quigley was black carded and Murphy came into the action.
They sealed their victory and progress to round two – or so they thought – when Ross Munnelly scored a point to put a goal between the sides with the last kick of the game.
Laois were clearly the better team on the day, but their wasteful shooting ensured that they didn’t win by more.
Had they pulled clear in the closing stages, the GAA may have settled on a fine and allowed the result to stand. But as it was a one-score game they opted for a replay.
"There was a proposed punishment put to us by the CCCC, we accepted it and the match has been refixed. Our reaction is to get on with it," said Laois County Board Chairman Gerry Kavanagh, speaking to RTÉ Sport.
"We're disappointed for the players because they put in a huge effort on the day and thought they'd done enough to get into the next round.
"But we are responsible. It's our job to discharge the rules properly, we didn't do that so we are where we are now."
This wasn't the only substitution mix-up at the game on Saturday.
Armagh's Tony Kernan came off in error after the fourth official put up the wrong number on the board and it took several minutes to rectify the situation.
In a statement released on Tuesday night, the GAA said: "Following an enquiry form the CCCC arising from the Round 1A Football Qualifier between Laois v Armagh on Saturday June 18, it has been confirmed that one extra substitute was used by Laois in error.
"CCCC have proposed in accordance with rule, that this game should be replayed on Saturday July 2 at 3.0 in Portlaoise.
"Laois have accepted this proposal."
There is one good point to come out of this for Laois however, with John O'Loughlin deemed to have served his one-game suspension and will be eligible for the replay.
The influential O'Loughlin was sent off in the Leinster quarter-final defeat to Dublin, picking up the automatic one match ban.
