Limerick boss John Kiely has launched a staunch defence of Nickie Quaid following last Saturday’s All-Ireland semi-final.
The Limerick goalkeeper was accused of gamesmanship after medical treatment was called for him in the 25th minute of the game, immediately after Galway had taken a six-point lead, though Kiely insisted that Quaid “wasn’t feeling well” and that the umpires brought this to the referee’s attention.
Once play restarted, Limerick outscored their opponents 0-6 to 0-1 up to half-time and went on to win the game comfortably, with Galway boss Henry Shefflin saying that the incident broke his side’s momentum.
