Man of the match?

Sir, – What a great game of hurling! What skill and bravery. And what a performance from the referee. He correctly whistled the fouls that have become an almost accepted part of the modern hurling game.

Were there more like him then the ill-disciplined farces that we have sadly become accustomed to would become memories.

The referee should become eligible for a Man of the Match nomination. I truly hope that Barry Kelly is to referee the replay and that other GAA referees take his wonderful performance on Sunday as an example for the future. – Yours, etc,
