There’s been a lot of discussion of the ending of the Munster hurling final — the timekeeping and the free, and the final whistle sounding as the ball dropped into the Limerick square.

Some of that discussion has focused on Cork players surrounding referee James Owens after the game, and complaints after the game that James didn’t inform them how much time was left at the very end.
