Mann: Junior final scoreline confusion regrettable

Limerick chairman Oliver Mann has said Saturday’s junior final scoreline confusion was regrettable.

Na Piarsaigh’s celebrations at the final whistle in the Gaelic Grounds were short-lived when it was realised they had finished level with Feohanagh after an error had been made by the referee and the scoreboard operator.

On leaving the field, referee Paddy Lyons confirmed the scoreboard was correct. However, when he tallied his scores in the notebook Lyonsrealised there was an issue with the result and Mann took to the public announcement system to confirm the mistake and that “on count back” the game had actually ended as a draw, Na Piarsaigh 0-15 Feohanagh 2-9.
