'Devastated' Fitzgerald unhappy with 'guess' over late '65

Waterford manager Davy Fitzgerald felt his team were hard done by after a late umpire call went Clare's way, with a last-gasp ’65 giving the Banner men victory in their Munster SHC clash.

Despite the concession of four goals at Cusack Park and trailing by five points at the interval, the Déise upped the ante considerably in the second half.

A Stephen Bennett injury-time penalty brought the sides level in the summer sunshine in Ennis, but there was still time for further drama in the round four clash.

A long-range Tony Kelly free drifted to the right, with the sliotar coming off Tadhg de Burca’s helmet. The defender scrambled to keep the ball in play, and in contesting for possession alongside Clare’s Peter Duggan, appeared to get the final touch off his hurley before the ball rolled over the endline.
