Miscellaneous

There was confusion at the end of the semi-final between Tracton and Youghal, with the scoreboards in Páirc Uí Chaoimh reading 1-12 a-piece though many had Tracton on 1-13 at the final whistle. The uncertainty centred on a second-half Sean O’Sullivan effort for Tracton – many credited the Tracton player with a point to put his side three ahead but it is understood the ball went wide, and late in the game the scoreboard display at both ends was changed out of sequence to ‘deduct’ a point from Tracton.
