A free or not a free — that is the question

WAS it a free or was it not a free? — that was the question asked by thousands of fans after yesterday’s heart-stopping Croker tussle between Waterford and Cork.

Depending on which colour jersey you wore, either Cork were hard done by or Waterford won a free fair and square and as a consequence, the right to a replay.

The controversial injury-time free from Eoin Kelly rescued Waterford from almost certain defeat after referee Brian Gavin ruled that Cork goalkeeper Dónal Óg Cusack had fouled the ball.
