Carlow boss seeks rules clarity after card flurry

Carlow 0-13 London 0-12: Carlow manager Turlough O’Brien has called on the GAA to provide some clarity on tackle laws after his side escaped from Ruislip with a narrow victory.

Twelve cards were brandished by referee Niall Cullen in a stop-start affair, including a second red for Carlow midfielder Brendan Murphy in as many games and a black for Eoghan Ruth, while London also had Jarlath Branagan sent off for two bookable offences.

“I don’t know what to say about cards - we just have to look at that situation,” said O’Brien, who missed Murphy’s sending-off for a tussle with Owen Mulligan.
