Meath Hurlers controversially retained the Kehoe Cup against
Wicklow in Trim Sun 9 Feb 2015
Meath retained the Kehoe Cup with a decisive win over
Wicklow in a final that had an element of controversy
Meath 0-17 Wicklow 0-7
Wicklow's cause wasn't helped by the red-carding of
full-forward of Andy O'Brien in the 16th minute when the Garden County side
were leading by 0-5 to 0-4.
Wicklow's Andy O'Brien (27) claims he was targeted during
Sunday's Kehoe Cup final against Meath in Trim on Sunday and was so riled up by
the abuse that he was sent off 15 minutes into the contest which the Royals won
0-17 to 0-7.
Meath 0-6 Wicklow 0-5
Half Time
A spokesperson for the Meath County Board has said that they
were unaware of the claims and were awaiting the referee's report from the
game.
At Monday's County Committee Meeting Chairman Conor Tormey congratulated the Meath senior hurling team on winning the Kehoe Cup at the expense of Wicklow on Sunday.
