Kilkenny are in the All-Ireland final after beating Limerick at Croke Park

The margin of victory was just two points but the Cats were denied a clear penalty late in the game.

Kilkenny won 2-13 to 0-17 in turbulent conditions at Headquarters, but the margin of victory could have been far greater had Donal O'Grady's foul on Richie Power been punished with a penalty rather than a free.

That is possibly the worst refereeing decision I have ever seen in #GAA. And in the era of Marty Duffy that's saying something. — Anne-Marie (@thecailinrua) August 10, 2014

 

Shocking.... Donal O Grady should have been handed a straight red card for that!!! Not even a penalty?! #LimerickVKilkenny#gaa — Deirdre O'Connor (@_deeoco_) August 10, 2014

In the end, however, it didn't matter and goals from Richie Power and Eoin Larkin made the difference for Brian Cody's side.
