‘Striking incident’ in O’Byrne Cup clash mentioned in referee report

THE referee’s report on the O’Byrne Cup game between Dublin and Wexford has made a “vague reference” to an alleged striking incident by a Dublin official.

Wexford defender Colm Morris alleged after the game in Coolock that he had been struck under the chin by a person who he was later told was a Dublin selector.

The incident was brought to the attention of Louth referee Gabriel McKenny by an umpire.
