Mickey Harte: 'They should just attend to their own business and leave everybody else to tend to theirs'

The Louth manager responded to comments from Liam Kearns and said he wanted to give his camp's side of the story after their recent concession of a walkover.

Louth may have lost the O’Byrne Cup final on Saturday afternoon in Longford after shipping three goals to hat-trick hero Dessie Reynolds, but Mickey Harte was determined that his team’s reputation would be properly defended when he came out after the game to correct the record with regard to the idea that Louth only conceded a walkover to Wexford in the final round of group games once they knew their place in the final was secured.

“We didn’t withdraw from the game. That’s the problem, there’s a narrative out there that’s been put into the public domain by someone who isn’t from Louth, and wasn’t involved with Louth and doesn’t know anything about them” he said after yesterday’s final.
