McGeeney blast for discipline system

KILDARE manager Kieran McGeeney has termed the disciplinary measures which followed his side’s ill-tempered battle with Laois in the O’Byrne Cup as “a joke”.

Seven players were sent off in the game and McGeeney has consistently said that he didn’t condone the outbreak of fighting that resulted in five players being dismissed.

Two of those players – Kildare’s Morgan O’Flaherty and Billy Sheehan from Laois – have protested their innocence, claiming that they are victims of mistaken identity.
