Shanahan’s error proves very costly

LIMERICK goalkeeper Albert Shanahan has paid a costly price for an unforced error which led to a crucial Cork goal in the recent Guinness Munster SHC semi final between the counties.

Confronted by a glaring sun, Shanahan allowed a long-range free from Ben O’Connor deceive him and the resultant goal firmly set Cork on the path to victory and a place in Sunday’s provincial showdown with Waterford.

As a result of his unfortunate boob, Shanahan has been dropped from next Sunday’s crucial qualifier with Tipperary at the Gaelic Grounds.
