Sheridan: the ref got it right

MEATH attacker Joe Sheridan insisted that his controversial goal which decided yesterday’s Leinster decider against Louth was legitimate.

Despite television replays showing Sheridan carrying the ball over the line in injury-time before dropping into the net, the player was adamant after yesterday’s Croke Park clash that referee Martin Sludden made the correct decision in awarding the goal.

He said: “It was a definite goal. People can say I threw it, but I was in the net. I just dropped the ball and it was in the net, simple as that.
