Fitzgerald surprised at angry Cody’s ‘attitude’

Wexford manager Davy Fitzgerald said he is “shocked” and “disappointed” at Brian Cody’s insinuation that one of his players tried to influence the referee to get Kilkenny players sent off in Saturday’s Bord na Móna Walsh Cup final.

Following the sending off of Richie Reid, Kilkenny boss Cody was sent to the stands following a verbal altercation with a linesman.

Afterwards, he hit out at a Wexford player “roaring and bawling to the referee about his helmet”.
