GAA star attacked by fan after game full of violence

Kerry GAA chiefs last night called for an investigation after former All-Ireland winning football captain Declan O’Sullivan was struck twice by supporters of Tyrone side Derrytresk in the aftermath of yesterday’s All-Ireland club junior football semi-final in Portlaoise.

Mr O’Sullivan was lining out for Dromid Pearses, who were defeated 1-10 to 0-7. As he attempted to make his way to the dressing rooms in O’Moore Park at the final whistle, he was struck first with a handbag and then by another supporter.

Mr O’Sullivan was approached by a garda who had identified the culprit, but the Kerry star opted against pressing charges.
