Offaly end 14-man Waterford’s momentum

Allianz FL Division 4 Round 2: Offally 0-13 Waterford 1-4: Waterford’s early season momentum hit the buffers in foggy and damp conditions at O’Connor Park yesterday afternoon as an early red card for midfielder Shane Ahearne left them hugely disadvantaged.

“The sending off was a huge blow, the conditions were tough out there today and we had 14 men for 52 minutes,” reflected manager Tom McGlinchey afterwards.

“The red card was what it was, the people that were looking at it will make their own assessment, but we were very disappointed with it.”
