Kilkenny referees set to strike
Kilkenny referees could withdraw from this weekend’s club games in support of a colleague who received a threatening letter.
It's understood match officials could be unavailable from today until Tuesday.
A referee told the Irish Examiner that he received anonymous correspondence from someone after the U17 minor hurling game between Erins Own and Thomastown last Tuesday week.
In the letter, which has been seen by the Kilkenny People, the referee is called a 'solid disgrace' and accused of siding with the home team. There follows a litany of accusations around decisions such as line balls and a penalty, and the referee is told he is 'not welcome in Castlecomer'.
The county board has yet to issue a statement.
