Umpire who erred in semi ‘gifted’ pair of glasses by Limerick fan

An umpire at the heart of the call not to award Limerick a last-gasp 65 in this year’s All-Ireland semi-final has been given a pair of glasses as a Christmas gift by a Limerick fan.

Morgan Darcy, who assisted his son-in-law, referee Alan Kelly, in last July’s game in Croke Park, was handed the gift by his friend and work colleague, Patrickswell native John Higgins at a recent event.
