Clap on the back for ref Duffy

The GAA have commended Marty Duffy’s decision to overrule his umpire and award a point to Eoghan O’Gara’s 53rd minute point in yesterday’s Leinster SFC final.

Linesman Maurice Deegan alerted the Sligo referee to the error after apparently seeing that the shot was good in a replay on of Croke Park’s two big screens.

GAA director of games administration and player welfare Feargal McGill said he was satisfied Duffy had made the right decision.
