Referee chief defends Hughes call to play six added minutes

Referees chief Willie Barrett believes match officials can no longer be accused of playing for draws.

The National Referees Development Committee chairman was reacting to the amount of additional time played by David Hughes at the end of the Division 2A game between Offaly and Antrim in Tullamore on Sunday. Two goals in injury time saw the Saffrons claim the win and deny the home side a place against them in the promotion final this Sunday.
