Owens slams ‘harsh’ red card

WATERFORD manager John Owens admitted Limerick were worthy winners in yesterday’s Munster SFC semi-final but was unhappy with referee Syl Dolan’s decision to dismiss Tommy Prendergast after just 13 minutes.

Prendergast earned a straight red card for a challenge on Limerick’s James O’Donovan a decision that angered Owens.

“Over the entire game Limerick well deserved their victory,” Owens said before adding, “to be absolutely honest I thought it was a very harsh decision and a very unjust one too.
