Loughrea and Galway star Tiernan Killeen has jumped to the defence of younger brother Cullen, pointing out that he's 'a child' and far from a dirty player.

Cullen was Man of the Match in Sunday's All-Ireland club SHC semi-final defeat of Sleacht Neill but picked up a straight red card in stoppage time so is presently suspended for next month's final against Ballygunner.
