Red card woe for Rob Heffernan, as Barr wins again
Heffernan just passed the halfway mark when he received his marching orders after three of the five officials all handed the defending world champion a red card, meaning automatic disqualification, in Heffernan’s first national championship since 2011.
The judges penalised Heffernan for lifting, as the Togher man’s technique didn’t demonstrate one foot on the ground at all times, a concern for the Cork man with his world championship defence in a few weeks.
