Extra time has been granted to Michael Ryan and Tipperary football board officials.

TIPPERARY GAA OFFICIALS have postponed a meeting scheduled for this evening which had hoped to ratify various hurling and football management teams for the 2016 campaign.

Premier County chiefs will now hold two meetings in November as they nail down key positions for next year.
