Murphy: Killeen’s sending off ‘harsh in the extreme’

Galway boss Mattie Murphy described Paul Killeen’s sending-off in yesterday’s Electric Ireland All-Ireland MHC semi-final as “harsh in the extreme.”

And Murphy accused Tipp manager William Maher of “invading his space” as the pair clashed on the touchline with 11 minutes remaining.

Murphy, who has completed his 12th season in charge of the Galway minors, spread over three different spells, was also non-committal on his future but hinted he may step aside following this five-point defeat.
