Violence mars Longford game

THE GAA in Longford has another major controversy on its hands after a linesman was struck at the end of a club game yesterday.

And the chairman of the county board has vowed that “this kind of behaviour will not be allowed to continue.”

Martin Scally made his remarks after it came to light that a linesman was punched at the end of a clash between Granard and Legan in the Longford intermediate football championship.
