Morris assault row ‘rests with Leinster Council’

THE Wexford County Board have refuted suggestions they are failing to support their star defender Colm Morris.

This is in the aftermath of an alleged assault by a Dublin mentor during last Sunday’s O’Byrne Cup senior football clash, claiming it is a matter for Leinster Council.

Having discussed the content of the referee’s report at a county management committee meeting on Wednesday, the board have issued a statement: “An incident in the second half of the game between Wexford and Dublin is referred to in the referee’s report. The matter now rests with Comhairle Laighean.”
