Push Incident Adds Further Woe To Tullamore Leinster Loss

Monday, 23 October 2023 07:22

Referee Barry Tiernan was shoved from behind after the game.

Tullamore have been left counting the cost of defeat after round one of the Leinster Senior Football Championship yesterday.

Video footage has emerged of a match official being knocked to the ground after their meeting with Summerhill at Glenisk O'Connor Park.

Referee Barry Tiernan was confronted in the aftermath of 1-9 to 1-7 win for the Meath Champions.

The Dublin official originally awarded Tullamore a penalty before reversing the decision following consultation with his umpires.
 
A video has gone viral on social media showing the attack on Tiernan as he was being escorted from the field. 

Tullamore manager Niall Stack says he believes it wasn't just the penalty decision that the referee got wrong:
