Tribesmen chiefs probe player altercation with board official

GALWAY GAA chiefs have launched an investigation into an alleged incident involving a county hurling board official and a member of the senior management team during last week’s Leinster SHC semi-final loss to Kilkenny.

Officials remained tight lipped on the matter but sources last night revealed that the county board discussed the incident – which is alleged to have occurred in the second half of the game at O’Connor Park, Tullamore – at a meeting on Thursday.

Their findings are expected to be known next week.
