Replay

Summary

The replay was one of the most controversial games of hurling ever played. Before the sliotar had even been thrown in, Colin Lynch was pulling recklessly across Peter Queally and Tony Browne. A melee ensued two minutes into the game and Lynch punched Browne. Brian Lohan and Michael White were red-carded for also fighting. The rest of the game was played in an extremely bad spirit and Clare emerged the victors by 2–16 to 0–10. [4] The Munster Council later suspended Colin Lynch for three months. [5] He was a huge loss for the subsequent three-game All-Ireland semi-final saga with Offaly, a marathon run of games which Clare eventually lost, thus surrendering an All-Ireland title which they had been hot favourites to retain.[ citation needed ]
