Tackle culture of violence

Despite the shocking scenes from last Sunday’s All-Ireland Club JFC semi-final between Kerry club Dromid Pearses and Tyrone’s Derrytresk, many people within the wider GAA community accept a ‘melee’ as part and parcel of our games, claims Ray Silke .

The violence which erupted in the All-Ireland Club JFC semi-final between Dromid Pearses (Kerry) and Derrytresk (Tyrone) was unacceptable and regrettable.

We all must acknowledge that as a starting point — because the amount of GAA people who still belive a bit of a melee is no cause for concern is staggering.
