Croker set for security review

CROKE PARK stadium director Peter McKenna has promised that there will be wholesale review of the venue’s security operation after referee Martin Sludden was physically assaulted by spectators after yesterday’s Leinster final.

The Tyrone official earlier awarded one of the most controversial goals ever seen in the history of the championship when allowing Joe Sheridan’s injury-time effort to stand and the result was pure bedlam.

Louth manager Peter Fitzpatrick, as well as two of his players, made their way over to Sludden to remonstrate with his decision to allow the score after the final whistle but the situation quickly turned ugly.
