Carlow board to discuss incidents at abandoned game

AS the hurlers of Kilkenny continue to celebrate, footballers in two parts of Carlow have found themselves in hot water.

Two rival GAA clubs face the threat of hefty fines, even suspensions, at a county board meeting tonight to discuss a row which forced a referee to abandon a weekend football game.

Carlow GAA county officials will gather tonight with players, team officials and others after a referee was forced to call time early when violence erupted on the pitch on Saturday night last.
