Cork don’t seek out referees, says JBM

Refereeing and referees was a topic for discussion at the Clare media day on Wednesday, in advance of this year’s All-Ireland senior hurling final, selector Mike Deegan stating that the Clare management would try to have a meeting with the man in the middle before every game to try to ascertain what they will or won’t allow.

Not the case, however, for Cork manager Jimmy Barry Murphy.

“Unless the referee comes to us before the games, we don’t go looking for him, we’ll take what comes on the day.”
