Kerry GAA referees consider next move as officials probe third abuse incident at under age game

'We met as a committee Monday night and we’re trying to come up with our own plans to see how we’re going to deal with it. Our refs are very close to saying enough is enough'
Kerry GAA referees consider next move as officials probe third abuse incident at under age game

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH: 'This is an U13 game, what kind of person goes to an U13 game and takes it upon himself to threaten a referee?” 

KERRY GAA is facing another probe into an under age GAA game being abandoned following an incident Sunday in which threatening language was used towards the referee. It is the third such episode in the county in the last few weeks and occurred in a Castleisland District U13 final between Ballymacelligott and Cordal, played in Castleisland.

The game was abandoned three minutes from the end of extra time after the referee was allegedly threatened by a supporter following a foul. The official deemed the threat serious enough to abandon the game.
