Tyrone CCC member assaulted
19 June 2007
The GAA has another disciplinary crisis on its hands after Tyrone Competitions Control Committee (CCC) secretary Aodhan Harkin was assaulted during a club match last weekend.
The Tyrone disciplinary chief was struck by a supporter as he patrolled the sideline during a league clash between his club Strabane and Urney. The assailant jumped over the fence surrounding the pitch and confronted Harkin, who was with his young son.
Referee Fergal Daly is believed to have witnessed the attack and is expected to include it in his report. Harkin was acting in his capacity as a Strabane official and was not representing the county board, but Tyrone officials are still expected to come down hard on his assailant.
