Controversy as Cats edge it

KILKENNY reversed the result of last year’s All-Ireland final with a thrilling 0-13 to 2-6 victory over Cork in the second round of Gala All-Ireland senior camogie championship.

The tie ended controversially however, as Gemma O’Connor’s long-range free from midfield in the fifth minute of injury time was signalled as a point by one umpire who waved the white flag.

The other umpire waved the shot wide however and after consulting with his two officials, referee Alan Lagrue decided that the shot had drifted outside the post, much to the anger of Cork’s players and management.
