Loughmore-Castleiney manager Éamonn Kelly wasn’t claiming mitigation for this heavy defeat but confirmed Noel McGrath had been sick going into this Munster semi-final.

The three-time All-Ireland SHC winner had been seen in discomfort on the way to Walsh Park after his brother Brian had suffered a stomach problem on Saturday.
