FAI hearing to investigate racial abuse allegation

Representatives from two of Donegal’s leading soccer clubs are to attend a Football Association of Ireland hearing this afternoon following an allegation of racial abuse.

A delegation from Letterkenny Rovers and Cockhill Celtic will meet with the Disciplinary Controls Unit (DCU) hierarchy at Abbotstown following allegations of an incident during a game between the clubs last month.

It has been alleged a Cockhill player used words of a racial nature towards an opponent during the FAI Intermediate Cup game.
