It's alleged that a man was stabbed in the lower leg at the end of an U16 game. He has attended hospital after being treated in an ambulance at the ground, but his condition is not thought to be life threatening. Really scary stuff to happen at any game, let alone an U16 match

There's no defence for what happened this evening but there are mitigating factors that that people won't largely be aware of. It's a scary situation but best to reserve judgement for now on what should happen without the full facts at hand. Thoughts are with all those involved.

Reports of an Incident at a game in Cookstown. Disgrace to GAA the man arrested should serve the most justified consequence for his actions, Soccer would never have things like this to be worried about. Never felt safe in Cookstown but not unsafe enough to bring a knife. #GAAU16 pic.twitter.com/gTVCMFAPWY
