Cork face Galway or Armagh FOOTBALL QUALIFIERS CORK will play either Galway or Armagh in the fourth round of the All-Ireland football qualifiers the weekend after next. Croke Park is the likely venue if the Ulster come through while the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick or Cusack Park Ennis could house the tie should Galway cause a surprise. Armagh will be hotly fancied to progress after hitting Leitrim for eight goals in round two at the weekend, following on from their thumping of Wicklow in the previous round. The other big round three tie is Kildare at home to Tyrone with the winners facing Meath in round four. The third round draw is: Galway v Armagh, Wexford v Laois, Kildare v Tyrone, Derry v Cavan.

Ryan declares disappointment at red card

EXTREMELY disappointed with how the game was refereed in our opinion, that was the reaction of Cork County Board Chairman Bob Ryan in the aftermath of yesterday’s Munster final at the Gaelic Grounds. Ryan pulled no punches in his analysis of the referee, James McGrath’s performance and the very controversial sending-off of Cork star Patrick Horgan just before half-time. “We are extremely disappointed with how the game was refereed,” Bob Ryan said. “A number of decisions, especially in the first-half, clear cut frees to Cork were not awarded to Cork and the situation was totally different with Limerick. “The sending off of Patrick Horgan was very suspect. That man is

County Board to study video in hope of an appeal MUNSTER SHC By JOHN HORGAN hurling a long time now and never did he pull a dirty stroke and I don’t believe he did to day and I think that the referee didn’t do that great game of hurling justice by that sending off.’’ Ryan told the Evening Echo that Cork may well decide to lodge an appeal over the dismissal of the Glen Rovers clubman. “Absolutely, we’ll examine the video of the sending-off and see what the situation is, but we are extremely disappointed.

“But in saying that, Limerick won the game fair and square and in the end, they got the scores. “At this level you cannot expect to compete with 14 men, the levels of fitness now are massive and especially on a day like today when the heat was so intense. But in saying that, it’s Limerick’s day and the best of luck to them.” Down but certainly not out, that was Ryan’s parting message outside the Cork dressingroom. “We’ll start again, back in training on Tuesday night and we face Kilkenny on July 28, that’s what we’ll do and we’ll give it our very best.’’ ● See P53-48 for more.
