"It's alleged that a man in his 50s was assaulted by a player while refereeing a match," said a police spokesman. Irish referee Daniel Sweeney suffered a broken jaw in an attack in November. The latest incident happened as the sides played in an end-of-season match refereed by Michael Comiskey in division four of the Wexford League. "A complaint of minor assault was reported to Gardaí following a soccer match at the Ballagh, Enniscorthy," said a police spokesman. Wexford Football League Secretary Gertrude Rowlands told BBC Sport: "We await the referee's report and a full investigation will take place by the WFL."
