Horgan: GAA rule move was to stop Cork

Patrick Horgan believes GAA authorities were out to stop Cork with their new rule interpretation for penalties and 20 metre frees.

It was the 2-11 scoring hero — not Anthony Nash — who fired to the net a free just outside the 20m line and then a second-half penalty to effectively end Clare’s stake in yesterday’s Munster semi-final.

Coming just a day after a new guideline was enforced barring Nash from advancing past the 20m line, Horgan was delighted to silence Cork’s detractors.
