Austin Gleeson to get green light for final as ref makes no issue over helmet tug
The Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) had sought clarification from the referee in relation to the first-half incident in which Gleeson pulled Luke Meade’s helmet off his head. The Irish Examiner understands James Owens informed the body that he was satisfied with how he officiated the game.
Owens did send off Waterford’s Conor Gleeson along with Cork’s Patrick Horgan in the closing stages and defender Gleeson is set to miss the September 3 decider with Galway, having been proposed a one-match ban by the CCCC.
