Lee Keegan: I incited Diarmuid Connolly red mist

Lee Keegan has admitted he provoked Diarmuid Connolly prior to the Dublin forward being sent off in last Sunday week’s drawn All-Ireland semi-final.

The Mayo defender accepted he instigated the incident that led to referee Joe McQuillan dismissing Connolly.

However, although Keegan escaped with a yellow card and Connolly had his red card rescinded by the Disputes Resolution Authority, Keegan insists he had been sent to ground shortly before the injury-time clash.
