Kettle says onus on Donegal to prove McBrearty ‘bite’

Dublin GAA chairman Andy Kettle says the burden of proof rests with Donegal to prove that Paddy McBrearty really was bitten at the weekend.

Donegal officials are standing over reports their young forward received a ‘laceration’ to his shoulder, consistent with a bite, during Sunday’s Allianz League stalemate in Ballybofey.

According to Donegal secretary Aodh Mairtin Ó Fearraigh, the matter now rests with Croke Park who are expected to investigate the incident.
