Crokes say 'segregation' claim a misunderstanding

The Dr Crokes club in Killarney has issued a statement following what they say was a "misinterpretation" of earlier comments, that they wanted supporters segregated at their AIB All-Ireland Club SFC semi-final against Crossmaglen Rangers at O'Moore Park, Portlaoise next month.

Chairman of the reigning Kerry and Munster champions Vincent Casey was quoted earlier today as saying, that after the violent scenes in Portlaoise last Sunday during the Dromid Pearses and Derrytresk All-Ireland JFC semi-final, he would hope for supporters to be in different areas of the Laois venue.
