Down hurling manager Ronan Sheehan says his players were subjected to sectarian abuse during their National Hurling League clash with Carlow.
Sheehan alleged that comments were made by their opponents during the 2-10 to 1-12 win for the home side in Ballycran.
He has called the comments “extremely disappointing” and “an insult to Gaels” in the county.
Carlow chairman Jim Bolger has said they are “committed to upholding the principles of anti-sectarianism” and “all allegations are investigated and action taken as appropriate”
