“There’s not really much we can do about it, all we can do is ask.
“These sorts of incidents are very, very hard to prove, something very hard to see.
“The other thing about incidents like this is that we wouldn’t condone anything like that, it’s not the way we play our football.
“We haven’t been associated with this stuff before, it wouldn’t be something that the management team would be condoning and as a club, it not something we would want happening.”
Crossmaglen won by 2-15 to 0-13, booking their place in the semi-finals of the Ulster championship.
