Controversy rages over Listowel’s winner

Listowel Emmets 1-8 C’island Desmonds 0-10

But dramatic victors Listowel Emmets will not be too bothered by the stinging controversy that surrounded their injury-time winning point in yesterday’s North Kerry SFC final.

Conor Cox didn’t believe he had cause for celebration when his late effort appeared to drift wide of the post, but after a consultation between referee Mike Hennessy and his umpires, the point was awarded when most of the crowd were already preparing for a final replay next weekend.
