Loss of Hughes hurts Harte

MICKEY HARTE believed poor information by the linesman to referee Joe McQuillan led to Kevin Hughes’ sending off.

The midfield talisman was given a second yellow after tangling with Donegal’s Michael Hegarty. Harte claimed McQuillan was only going to give Hughes a warning until the linesman intervened.

“When we lost our man it was rather harsh and made life very difficult for us,” he said.
