Gearoid Hegarty was so “embarrassed” by his red card against Galway that he says he struggled to face his family.
The Limerick star was given his marching orders after lashing out at Joseph Cooney in the Allianz Hurling League game on February 12. The All-Ireland champions were leading at the time but slipped to a six-point defeat.
When asked if he had learned from the incident, Hegarty replied: “Definitely. Talking in my own sense, it was stupid. I was embarrassed. It’s a horrible feeling. I’ve never gotten a straight red before, definitely not with Limerick anyway.
