A Protestant Gaelic hurler confirmed today he had reversed his decision to quit the sport over sectarian abuse.
Darren Graham (25), whose father and two uncles were shot dead by the IRA, claims he suffered years of harassment and taunts from opposition players and fans in Co Fermanagh.
The Lisnaskea Emmetts hurler finally stormed off a pitch last week, vowing never to return following the latest verbal attack where he was allegedly called a "black and orange c***".
But after the Fermanagh County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association issued an unreserved apology and announced steps to rid the game of any sectarianism, Graham confirmed today he had changed his decision.
He said: "If I'm selected I will turn out. But I will also be wanting to see what progress they make on the whole judgement around it, and if they are taking a stand.
"They are bringing in outside bodies to chat to the clubs and try to stamp it out. If I can see they are trying to do that I will definitely go back."
Mr Graham's decision came as it emerged a former GAA president is to address senior officials in Fermanagh clubs on the issue.
The county board revealed that leading representatives in the sport, including the association's former president Jack Boothman, will take part in a special meeting of chairmen and secretaries to discuss concerns about sectarianism.
