JP Rooney harbours no bitterness over controversial 2010 Leinster final

Former Louth star JP Rooney insists he doesn’t harbour any bitterness towards ex-Meath forward Joe Sheridan following the controversial 2010 Leinster SFC final between the counties.

And Rooney, Louth’s goal-scorer at Croke Park in the provincial decider six years ago, insists the Wee County should have put the game to bed before Sheridan’s disputed late intervention.

Sheridan’s ‘goal’, in the fourth minute of stoppage time, denied Louth a first provincial senior crown since 1957 and match referee Martin Sludden was attacked as he attempted to make his way off the pitch.
