Board set to review Galvin attack

Kerry GAA chiefs last night scrutinised referee John Sexton’s account of Sunday’s controversial county senior hurling championship final.

The contest was overshadowed by Kilmoyley official Paddy O’Sullivan’s violent attack on former Kerry footballer Paul Galvin just before the second half began.

The four-time All-Ireland medal winner was playing at left half-forward for Lixnaw when struck by O’Sullivan with a hurley. Seconds earlier, Sexton had shown a yellow card to Galvin for an off-the-ball incident involving Kilmoyley’s Tom Murnane.
