In last Saturday's Intermediate All-Ireland quarter-final clash between Waterford and Sligo in Birr, centre-forward Marie Delahunty of the Déise knocked over a free, off the ground, two metres outside the 45.

“It was unfortunate that part of the statement issued in support of the retired manager Brian Cuthbert was interpreted as criticism of the referee.”

Jason Ryan has named an unchanged Kildare team for this weekend’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final against Kerry.

“I didn’t do this to garner attention or notice. If people disagree, they are entitled to do so."

The influence of Alan O’Connor was vital in the drawn game - how Kerry will try to negate him in Killarney on Saturday evening?

The Munster final replay between Cork and Kerry on Saturday July 18 will be shown live on RTE2.
