The journalist who contested Kildare manager Glenn Ryan’s claim that county chairman Mick Gorman’s remarks “had not been properly reported” said he couldn’t let his integrity go unchallenged.

“Leinster Leader” sports editor Tommy Callaghan wrote in his weekly column that the remark by Ryan was “very, very hurtful” and he had to defend himself during the group interview following Kildare’s 14-point Allianz Division 2 defeat to Armagh in Carlow, their third consecutive defeat.
