Coldrick had complete control

David Coldrick had his best game of the year in yesterday’s All-Ireland semi-final.

As the game was played in an excellent spirit, it was right that he showed no yellow cards in the first-half. Both teams, despite being known as physical sides, played within the rules for large parts and Coldrick had complete control of the game.

Coldrick showed he was sticking to the rules. In the 10th minute, Michael Shields was blown up for attempting to take a free eight metres forward from where it was given and a throw-up was awarded.
