Galvin hit with hurley by pitch invader

Kerry GAA chiefs are investigating a violent attack with a hurley on former football star, Paul Galvin, during yesterday’s Kerry hurling final in Tralee.

Galvin was playing for Lixnaw against Kilmoyley when he was hit by a man wielding a hurley just before the second half began.

Seconds earlier, referee John Sexton had booked Galvin for an off-the-ball incident which had left an opposing player, Tom Murnane, on the ground.
