After watching the Junior Feis Final in Dunloy tonight, you wonder how some referees get the games they get. That was an embarrassment. The crowd were dismayed from start to finish at his unashamed bias. How the Armoy players kept their cool I have no idea. Ruined a potentially good game between two well matched teams.
Watched this game, couldn't believe the refereeing display. I think I counted 6 Cloughmills free's in the first 5 minutes of the second half which is crazy considering the ball would only have been in play for less than half that time. Not much hurling actually played which was a shame. Waiting for the match report to see how many was actually scored from play, my guess would be 3 out of 18 points.
One of the problems with the rural areas is that the ref could be from a mile outside either teams village and probably drink in the same pub, one thing is for sure is the referee tonight deserved to do the trophy lift and get the first drink out of the cup.
