What a cracking game of hurling that was on Sunday between Limerick and Cork at the Gaelic Grounds. Referee James Owens has comes under a bit of fire from Cork fans and indeed hurling fans for some of the calls he made during the game..
It’s a tough game to ref and I wouldn’t fancy being in the middle, should hurling have two refs? It is the fast field sport in the world after all. The Wexford man is coming under the spotlight from fans online, see some of the comments below;

James Owens loves making ridiculous penalty calls doesn’t he? This wasn’t even related to a penalty. https://t.co/Pv9BAAkO4l

So proud of @OfficialCorkGAA hurlers today only out by the skin of our teeth not one to blame #JamesOwens but a free against Cahalane & a penalty both decisions given from 60 yards out the field & they were proved incorrect but those are the breaks #RebelsABU

James Owens is guessing out there and riding Cork as a result. Cahalane not off the ground. No penalty, free out for holding #GAA

We’ll have a Limerick vs Clare Munster final now again a repeat of last year. We can’t wait for these two teams to go at it. It promises to be a cracking and will be played at Semple Stadium Thurles.
