TJ Ryan has said Limerick hurler Peter Casey “doesn’t deserve” to miss the All-Ireland final as it is not clear that he headbutted Waterford’s Conor Gleeson.

Casey was shown a straight red card in the second-half of Limerick’s All-Ireland semi-final win for an alleged headbutt on the Waterford defender, with former Limerick manager Ryan insisting that Casey leaned forward toward Gleeson as a result of contact made by the latter’s hurley.
