Harry Kehoe called ‘admitted liar’ in report

Wexford hurler Harry Kehoe was considered “an admitted liar” by the GAA’s Central Hearings Committee (CHC), after he claimed he hoodwinked officials into sending off Tadhg de Búrca in July’s All-Ireland quarter-final.

The Waterford defender was red-carded after linesman John Keenan informed referee Fergal Horgan that de Búrca had deliberately interfered with Kehoe’s helmet in the closing stage of their counties’ clash in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

De Búrca unsuccessfully challenged the Central Competitions Control Committee’s proposed, one-match ban with the CHC and Central Appeals Committee (CAC), prior to the Disputes Resolution Authority (DRA) upholding those groups’ decision. He served a one-match ban for Waterford’s All-Ireland semi-final win over Cork.
