Des Cahill blasts All-Ireland final decision as something from a 'junior league match'

Des Cahill has slammed the decision to make Kildare goalkeeper Cormac Barker wear a bib in Saturday's All-Ireland Under-20 Football Championship final and likened it to something from a 'junior league match'.

Barker was in nets for Kildare but was made wear an orange bib for the game as his black goalkeeper jersey clashed with Sligo's colours.

RTE host Cahill was not impressed, saying that it shouldn't happen in a final.
