Clarke must face Council

DUBLIN selector Paul Clarke is to appear before the Leinster Council over an alleged punching incident during his side's recent O'Byrne Cup win over Wexford.

After the game in Ayrfield, Wexford corner-back Colm Morris claimed he had been struck under the chin by a man later revealed to him as a Dublin mentor. The incident was brought to the attention of referee Gabriel McKenny by an umpire at the time, but no disciplinary action was taken.

It was later revealed that though his subsequent report to the Leinster Council mentioned the incident, there was no mention of any of those allegedly involved.
