Refereed a game last night (U15 division 4 shield final, about as far from Sam Maguire as it gets!)
One team won by 24 points. They made 2 subs (corner back & corner forward), and 3 players on the bench got no game time.
When will coaches learn 😩

“The game itself is unstructured. Anything can happen in a game, but one thing that doesn’t happen is running to one cone and turning with the ball to go to another cone.”

National League is the best competition in the GAA. Why? Teams playing against opposition at a similar level and both feel they can go for the win!
Colm Hutton’s outrageous finish for Carlow today, deep into injury-time, two points down to Leitrim who were about to join Laois on 8 pts in the table.
Some goal.
Hutton goes down the far side then and makes a block as Leitrim chased an equalising point
