'Nothing untoward': Connacht chairman John Murphy dismisses draw claims

John Murphy: Social media was alit with claims following his drawing of the provincial championship - he insists, nothing untoward happened

Connacht chairman John Murphy has dismissed suggestions he purposely picked out a team over another in the provincial senior football draw.

Social media was alit with claims following the draw on RTÉ’s Six One News on Monday evening that the Sligo man had selected a cannister only to put it back into the bowl. The moment occurred as he was to reveal the semi-final opponents of Mayo and Sligo, which turned out to be Leitrim.
