In a week of controversy in the GAA, the referee was again centre of attention in last night’s AFL 8 clash between Ranelagh Gaels and Stars of Erin.

Ranelagh Gaels 1-11
Clontarf 3-5

RANELAGH Gaels didn’t know how to feel as they left St Anne’s Park with a point in the bag last Friday night.

At half-time they were lucky to still be in touch with high-flying Clontarf, but a 20 minute period of sustained excellence saw the visitors move into a six-point lead.

Two sloppy goals were then conceded and Ranelagh trailed as injury time ticked by but a point with the last kick of the game secured a draw.
