Cork County Board investigating alleged physical interference incident

The Cork County Board are investigating an incident from last month’s Cork SHC game between Bishopstown and Newtownshandrum, where a Newtownshandrum supporter is alleged to have physically interfered with referee Cathal McAllister.
The game, which took place at Mournabbey on Friday, April 19, ended in a 1-14 to 1-13 come-from-behind victory for Bishopstown. 1-4 of Bishopstown’s 1-6 second-half total came from dead-ball efforts, with members of the Newtownshandrum management visibly annoyed at a number of McAllister’s second-half decisions, including the awarding of a 58th-minute penalty which enabled Bishopstown to get back on level terms.
