O’Gorman eager for Munster football boost

MUNSTER Council chairman Jimmy O’Gorman expressed disappointment at the standard of the weekend’s provincial football action.

Waterford managed just one point from play in their loss to Clare (0-9 to 0-7) a match which Clare selector James Hanrahan described as “terrible” while Tipperary boss John Evans admitted their 1-5 to 1-8 defeat to Limerick was “one awful game”.

Said O’Gorman: “Unfortunately for followers in the province, football does not arouse the same depth of passion and interest as hurling. The most that saw the two games was three and a half thousand. That speaks for itself.”
