Thugs need to be turned in by clubs, says Cooney

GAA president Christy Cooney is confident clubs will identify their members involved in the recent unsavoury scenes in Roscommon and Tyrone.

For the second successive weekend, club matches were marred with violent scenes as Sunday’s Connacht final referee Liam Devenney had to be shielded from Corofin supporters in Kiltoom while one of his umpires was struck.

Cooney is optimistic the troublemakers will be singled out by their clubs.
