FAI probe alleged assault on manager

The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) is treating with “extreme seriousness” an alleged assault on the manager of a soccer team playing in an All-Ireland final in Tralee, Co Kerry.

Brian Kenna, of Peamount United — a Dublin club with which Olympic gold medallist Katie Taylor formerly played — was knocked unconscious and received attention from paramedics before being removed to hospital.

An incident took place immediately after the FAI U16 Women’s Challenge Cup final, in which Peamount United defeated Listowel Celtic 3-1, at the weekend.
