‘Tribe sharper’ — but Cleary baffled by ref’s timekeeping

He described it as ‘nitpicking’ afterwards, but there was no mistaking how flabbergasted John Cleary was by David Gough’s allocation of one minute of injury-time in Limerick on Saturday.

It left the Cork supporters and Cleary frustrated considering the number of stoppages in the second half.
