CORK GOALKEEPER ANTHONY Casey has responded to the heavy criticism he has faced on social media since Saturday’s EirGrid All-Ireland U21 Final.
The Rebels conceded five goals in their defeat to Mayo, with Casey coming in for some harsh words after his late error led to Mayo’s fourth with the game still in the balance.
“Made a mistake!” the 20-year-old keeper tweeted on Monday evening.
