Wexford GAA hand out maximum suspension following assault on referee

Wexford GAA have come down heavily on the club mentor involved in an assault on Referee Michael Lannigan and an umpire following a Junior A' club football championship game - handing him the maximum suspension along with a ban from attending games on his home pitch.

The game involved St. Joseph's and Our Lady's Island at the St. Joseph's home ground on Whiterock Rock, which they lost by a single point. In a later relegation play-off they were subsequently relegated from Junior 'A' football.

Following the game the referee was assaulted along with an umpire which subsequently led to an investigation being carried out by the Wexford Central Competitions Control committee.
