GAELIC FOOTBALL
Tullogher-Rosbercon bowed out of the Leinster Junior Club Football Championship when Dundalk Young Ireland’s beat them by a seven-point margin, 0-13 to 0-6 in the game played at O’Kennedy Park New Ross.
The Louth representatives were the better team on the day but were helped greatly by a shocking display from referee, David O’Connor, and his officials from Dublin. Inconsistency in his calls raised the ire of the sizeable Tullogher following.
After consultation with his linesman, he red-carded Jason Shiely for a seemingly innocuous offence and moments later a frontal charge on Tullogher’s Pat Hartley went unpunished when it either was a red or at least a black card. Why cannot referees be consistent in their interpretation of the rules-they seem to be different from game to game.
A 14-man Tullogher team fought to the bitter end but the task was now beyond them and Young Ireland’s advanced to meet St Brigid’s of Offaly in the Leinster Final.
