All-Ireland senior hurling final referee Fergal Horgan has dismissed speculation that last Sunday’s game would be his last as an inter-county official.

The Tipperary man, 42, described as “completely unfounded” the rumour that he was set to retire from refereeing and is baffled at where the suggestion originated.
