Ollie slams coverage of Joe’s comments on Shefflin

Galway legend Ollie Canning has hit out at media coverage of comments by his brother Joe following the drawn All-Ireland SHC final against Kilkenny.

Joe Canning made headlines when describing Henry Shefflin’s act of running to complain to referee Barry Kelly as ‘not sportsmanlike’.

“I thought the reaction from the media was completely overhyped,” said Ollie Canning yesterday. “I felt it was cheap reporting, one or two comments were taken out of context. I thought it was very poor GAA journalism by a number of reporters.
