Jim McCorry concerned at umpires’ training levels

Down manager Jim McCorry has questioned the level of training given to umpires in the wake of Conall McGovern’s controversial dismissal in Sunday’s Ulster SFC defeat by Derry.

The Down defender was dismissed by referee Eddie Kinsella at the start of the second half for an off the ball strike on Enda Lynn, on the advice of his umpire.

While Kinsella was criticised for his fitness levels during the game by BBC pundit Oisin McConville, McCorry has stuck up for the Laois whistler, who took charge of last year’s All-Ireland final between Kerry and Donegal.
