Cody won’t revisit ref attack, but CCCC may take action

All-Ireland winning manager Brian Cody last night refused to comment on growing speculation he faces sanctioning over his scathing attack on referee Barry Kelly.

Cody’s description of Kelly’s decision to award an injury-time free against Kilkenny in the drawn All-Ireland final as “criminal” is likely to be discussed at this month’s meeting of the Central Competitions Control Committee.

The Kilkenny manager could be hit with an eight-week ban if found to have brought the game into disrepute with his comments.
