The Paudie Palmer column: Beware the hurling snob who sneers at football

In the game between Dublin and Wexford, the Limerick whistler, Johnny Murphy, awarded 50 frees.

Back to the Cork-Limerick tie, 28 points were scored by the two free-takers: 17 by Patrick Horgan and 11 by Aaron Gillane.

If you opened your various Monday morning sports supplements of the national papers, these results would not have gained the column inches, but believe me when I tell you, the victories make a difference to the two school communities involved.

The lower pastures also produce green grass, congrats to all associated with the two victories.
