Probe continues into biting claim at Coventry clash

GAA chiefs cross-channel have yet to conclude their inquiries into allegations a player had his ear bitten in a Warwickshire senior football league game last week.

John Dowling, 22, who plays football for county champions Sean McDermotts, required two hospital visits after he was allegedly bitten in the incident, during a clash with Roger Casements in Coventry on Sunday, April 3.

The match was abandoned after a mass brawl broke out midway through the second half. This week, the Warwickshire County Board met to discuss the referee’s report from the abandoned tie but has not revealed its findings.
