Blood sub fun in Tyrone

    Tyrone will probe replay mayhem
    The Tyrone county board has said it will investigate incidents which allegedly occurred in Friday's county football semi-final replay at Omagh.
    Holders Carrickmore edged out Dromore 0-12 to 0-11 after a contest which went on for almost two and a half hours.

    Match referee John Kerlin was allegedly jostled after the game.

    There were reports that a Carrickmore player punched another Carrickmore player to engineer a blood substitution as well as other violent incidents.

    Sources have told BBC Sport that Carrickmore had made all their substitutes by the stage when the Carmen player hit a team-mate to draw blood.

    In the second period of extra-time, Dromore's Sean McDonnell was sent off and Gabriel McCallan hit the winning score seconds later.

    Witnesses have said that the second 10-minute period of extra-time took 21 minutes to complete because of several unseemly incidents which held up play.

    The match, played under lights at Healy Park before a crowd of around 7,000, started at 2000 BST and wasn't completed until 2225.

    Tyrone county chairman Pat Darcy told BBC Sport on Monday that there will be an investigation into the post-match incident when referee Kerlin was allegedly jostled.

    Mr Darcy refused to go into specifics on that incident although he did say that the referee had been "the centre of attention".

    The Tyrone official added that other incidents could be investigated depending on what is contained in the referee's match report.

    He added that he had no knowledge of the alleged attempt by a Carrickmore player to engineer the blood substitution.

    Mr Darcy added that the Tyrone decider between three-in-a-row seeking Carrickmore and Errigal Ciaran will definitely go ahead next Sunday.
