Mullane: two fingers bad, three goals good

JOHN MULLANE is likely to escape any sanction for his two-fingered gesture to the Cork supporters after he had scored the third of his goals in Sunday’s Munster hurling final.

Any question of the De La Salle player being disciplined would be a matter for the GAC to examine, but this is considered improbable.

Munster Council chairman Christy Cooney expressed the view that while it would have been better if it hadn't happened, he felt it was done 'in the heat of the moment' and shouldn't deflect from his outstanding display.
