GAC invite referee to talks over club allegation against him

THE Waterford County Board investigation into the incidents which marred the recent senior hurling semi-final between Ballygunner and Lismore has taken a dramatic and potentially very serious turn following an allegation against referee Michael Wadding.

The allegation, in writing, has been made by the Lismore club and has already been considered by the Games Administration Committee.

Officially no one is commenting about the allegation, but so serious is it being viewed by the GAC members that they are inviting the referee to meet with them and to respond if he wishes.
