O’Grady: Bennett comments out of order

LIMERICK boss Donal O’Grady has expressed ‘major concern’ at comments made by Waterford selector Pat Bennett relating to refereeing performances ahead of tomorrow’s Munster SHC semi-final between the counties.

O’Grady feels Bennett’s claims, which appeared in yesterday’s Irish Examiner, were designed to put pressure on whistler Barry Kelly who takes charge of the clash.

Bennett said the county’s hurlers and manager Davy Fitzgerald have been unfairly targeted by referees and specifically mentioned the Westmeath official.
