Investigation launched after player allegedly spat in face of opponent during GAA club match

Louth GAA have launched an investigation after a GAA player appeared to spit in the direction of an opponent's face during a club match.

The incident occurred during an Intermediate Football Championship round three fixture between St Kevins and St Brides in Darver's Centre of Excellence on Tuesday night.

During the incident, which was caught on camera, a St Kevins player is seen appearing to spit in the direction of an opponent.

Louth chairman Peter Fitzpatrick has revealed that an investigation has been launched and that the incident was recorded in the referee's report from the match.

He told Independent.ie: "It's in the referee's report and the referee gave his report to the CCC. The CCC are meeting today to discuss the situation.

"St Kevin's, the club involved are having a meeting tonight so we'll know in the next 24 hours what's going to happen.

"We're dealing with it straight away. That incident that happened last night is regrettable and we're going to nip in the bud straight away."
