Kiely favours golden score over shootout to decide drawn games

John Kiely believes a golden score is the most suitable means of deciding a “winner on the day” game that is level after extra-time.

The Limerick manager saw his side’s six-year reign in Munster end at the hands of Cork in June’s Munster final in TUS Gaelic Grounds on penalties, 3-2.
