Probe into City manager’s leg injury

THE Manager of the FAI Referees’ Department, Mr Pat Kelly, last night said he would today inquire into the circumstances that led to Cork City manager, Pat Dolan, receiving a leg injury in the course of the match at Tolka Park on Friday.

Mr Dolan claimed that a Shelbourne player had reached backwards with his leg while in the act of taking a throw-in opposite the Cork dug-out and caught him on the shin.

His attempts to bring his injury to the notice of the match referee, Mr John McDermott, were frustrated and he reported the incident to two gardaí after the match.
