Wexford back down in punching furore

WEXFORD officials have decided against making an official complaint about the alleged incident that overshadowed their defeat to Dublin in the O’Byrne Cup last weekend.

Corner-back Colm Morris claimed after the game that he had been punched by someone later identified to him as a member of Dublin’s backroom team during the second half of the game in Coolock on Dublin’s northside.

Wexford county chairman Sean Quirke was visibly angered when quizzed about the matter after the match and promised that the county executive would look into the matter.
