Youghal win, draw and then lose out

CONFUSION and controversy surrounded this vital final round-robin Harty Cup group game at Goatenbridge yesterday, with Youghal initially informed that they had won a cracking contest by a single point.

Justice was done, however. Referee Tom O’Donnell from the Cahir club, who had contributed handsomely to what was a superb, free-flowing and sporting display, had inadvertently attributed a first-half Árd Scoil Rís point to Youghal.

On consultation at half-time with two independent recorders from the media, he had amended that error, but only partially so, deducting the point from Youghal, while not applying same to Árd Scoil Rís.
