Tribe boss Tony Ward says Galway were untroubled by appeal uncertainty

Galway manager Tony Ward insists his charges were unaffected by the Wexford appeal that threatened their place in the final of the Liberty Insurance All-Ireland senior camogie championship.

The appeal was lodged by Wexford after their one-point loss to Galway on the basis of their belief they had a point that was not awarded due to referee Cathal Egan overruling his umpires, and Egan played in excess of two minutes more than the minimum four of injury-time he had signalled.

It was at the very end of injury-time Galway snatched the winner thanks to a nerveless Niamh McGrath strike from a ‘45’ The appeal was heard 12 days after the semi-final but Ward and his players remained focussed on the impending clash with Cork on September 13.
