Cork has no problem with controversial referee

Referee James McGrath, who controversially sent off Patrick Horgan in the Munster hurling final in July, will take charge of next Saturday week’s All-Ireland final replay and Cork have no issue in relation to his appointment, according to County Board Chairman Bob Ryan.

The Westmeath official gave Horgan his marching orders in Cork’s Munster final against Limerick after he adjudged that the Glen Rovers clubman had struck Paudie O’Brien’s helmet.
