GAA probe into referee assault

KERRY GAA chiefs have set up a special executive team to probe Sunday’s violent assault on AIB Kerry SHC semi-final referee, Gearóid O’Regan.

The Ballyheigue official was struck and manhandled by at least one player and a number of spectators after the Tralee clash between Kilmoyley and Ballyduff.

Ballyduff, the club at the centre of the storm, will not play any more senior or U21 hurling games until the investigation is completed, the county board announced last night.
