Kennelly’s admission ‘disappoints’ Canty

CORK captain Graham Canty has criticised Tadhg Kennelly for his premeditated crunching tackle on Nicholas Murphy in the opening seconds of the All-Ireland final.

Kennelly revealed in his autobiography Unfinished Business that he: “positioned myself on the line ready to race in when the referee put the ball in the air. My eyes were almost rolling around in the back of my head. I was like a raging bull.”

He added he “timed it right” and caught Murphy “perfectly on the chin”.
