Probe into post-match row unlikely

OFFICIALS of the eircom League are not expected to enquire into the circumstances surrounding the post-match row between Cork City manager Pat Dolan and Shelbourne’s Pat Fenlon at Turner’s Cross on Monday unless there is a reference to it in one of the match officials’ reports.

Angry words were exchanged between the two managers outside the dressing-room area more than 30 minutes after the final whistle of a match which Shelbourne won 2-0 to confirm their position as leaders of the Eircom League.

The scene was witnessed by players from both clubs and a small gathering of fans.
