The officiating mistake that failed to award a William Buckley goal in the final quarter of the Munster U20 hurling final has cost Cork their provincial and All-Ireland title defence, manager Ben O’Connor has said.

While acknowledging the 11 second-half wides that his team registered, O’Connor lamented the legitimate goal not given.
