Cody 'amazed' by decision to send Richie Hogan off

Brian Cody has declared himself "amazed" at the decision by referee James Owen to send Richie Hogan off towards the end of the first-half in Sunday's All-Ireland senior hurling final at Croke Park.

Kilkenny were leading Tipperary by a point when Hogan made contact with the head of Cathal Barrett with a stray elbow along the Hogan Stand touchline. Replays duly showed that the Danesfort forward had caught Barrett on the chin.
