McGrath offers no excuses but says sending off ‘harsh’

De La Salle manager Derek McGrath was diplomatic about the first-half sending off which swung this game away from the Waterford champions.

John Keane looked as though he’d been harshly red-carded by referee Shane Hourigan but McGrath wasn’t interested in criticising the official.

“We’d have thought it was a harsh decision, without turning the knife into anybody. We thought it was a turning point.
