Referee allegedly assaulted during U-17 gaelic football game speaks out after hospital release

The referee who was allegedly assaulted during a gaelic football match has told how he is "trying to deal" with his health as the GAA investigates the incident.

Kevin Naughton was officiating an under-17 match at Ballyforan in Roscommon between home side St Aidan’s and St Dominic’s when he was left needing medical attention following an incident during the game, which was abandoned as a result, on Wednesday evening.

The ref was last night home recovering after he was released from hospital.
