Exiles furious at ref calls

In the corridor at Ruislip following Saturday’s qualifier, Antrim boss Liam Bradley was conducting a television interview when referee Pádraig Hughes peered around the corner.

The Armagh official quickly pulled his head back so as to not cause a disruption, but he was far too late. He had already grabbed the lion’s share of the limelight.

London’s players and management were incensed by Hughes’ inconsistent display, which they believe leaned in favour of the visitors, who escaped from the Emerald Grounds with a two-point win thanks to Kevin Niblock’s 62nd-minute goal.
