McEntee in ref rage but Cross live to fight another day

Crossmaglen joint-manager Tony McEntee claimed the threat of suspension precluded him from speaking out against referee Rory Hickey’s performance on Saturday.

Asked for a comment on the standard of officiating, he said: “Not without suspensions following, no.”

However, he added: “We did find it hard to win frees out there. We certainly worked for those we got.”
