A new video clip from the Cookstown / Finuge game has been posted on YouTube.
The fresh footage also seems to depict a spitting incident during an altercation between players and officials from both sides. This time, it seems that a Fr Rocks player may have been the victim.
The first clip that appeared over the weekend seemed to show Kerry star Paul Galvin being spat upon and the former Footballer of the Year subsequently issued a statement saying that a Cookstown player did spit on him.
The clubs had sought permission from Croke Park to video the match for their own purposes and the CCCC will now seek unedited footage from both camps so they can investigate the incidents fully.
GAA chiefs are believed to be unhappy that the footage has surfaced on YouTube as that breaches the agreement that had been made between Croke Park and the clubs with regard to them recording the match for private use.
