'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 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.
