AT FIRST IT looked as if referee Diarmuid Kirwan just fell over after throwing the ball in to start the second half of Kilkenny’s demolition of Wexford in the Leinster SHC semi-final this afternoon.
However, as the replays show, while Kirwan attempted to backtrack at speed, he appeared to be caught by the hurley of Michael Fennelly, causing him to hit the deck.
Co-commentator Anthony Daly found the whole thing hilarious, but Kirwan was hobbling for some time afterwards.
Referee Diarmuid Kirwan paid for getting a little too close to action this afternoon
