was at the match myself tonight lads and we were lucky to get out of jail after being brought down to the level of cullyhanna and under performing ourselves. This was obviously their tactic from the off and it almost worked out for them.
Clans forward line didnt get going at all while cullyhanna dominated around the middle, with their number 15 scoring some cracker frees from distance.
My view of the sending off incident.
The cullyhanna number six was flattened by a late tackle around the middle as play went on with cullyhanna attacking. He received some treatment and got up in a rage about the late tackle. He then proceeded to mark his man and play continued. I decided i would watch what way he reacts instead of followig play. He clearly began standing down the backs of his markers ankles and then bit him on the shoulder. The clans man imeadiately swung but missed him with his right then caught him with his left. Clearly both deserved to go but the linesman (not the ref) only saw the punch.
I personally thought the ref was average but began to lose control towards the end. The ref certainly wouldnt have lost us the match...
