New Kerry chairman Patrick O'Sullivan has expressed the wish to give evidence to the CCCC's investigation into the violent scenes that marred last Sunday's All-Ireland club JFC semi-final between Derrytresk and Dromid Pearses.

O'Sullivan, who attended the game in Portlaoise along with county secretary Peter Twiss, said: "What went on was unacceptable. I'm hoping I will be called to the inquiry that has now been launched so as I can make my views known, along with the secretary. We may be of assistance and could help clear up a few matters. Incidents like what went on must be stamped out."

Meanwhile, former Meath star and media pundit Colm O'Rourke has described the scenes as "harmless enough".

He said on Newstalk Radio: "When I heard about it first I thought this was a complete running brawl. From what I saw on television it was over quickly and I didn't see to many people throwing punches at all.

"It did appear worse because spectators came in off the stand but to me, most of the people involved were peacemakers more than combatants. So I don't have the moral outrage at this incident that seems to be prevalent." Tweet
