SPORT: Donegal full-back Neil McGee will miss Donegal’s Ulster SFC semi-final against Monaghan after losing his appeal against his two-match suspension.
McGee was given a straight red card in Donegal’s win over Fermanagh earlier this month.
McGee struck out at Ruairi Corrigan and Maurice Deeegan gave the Gaoth Dobhair defender a straight red card.
He was hit with a two-game ban, due to being retrospectively punished earlier this season in an ill-tempered National Football League clash with Kerry.
Donegal appealed the decision, but unfortunately McGee will miss the Ulster SFC semi-final with Monaghan, and if they overcome the Farney County, he will also sit out the Ulster SFC final.
A statement from the Central Hearings Committe “In relation to the above game, An Lár Choiste Cheannais na gComórtaisí (Central Competitions Control Committee) instituted Disciplinary Action against Niall Mac Aoidh alleging a breach of 7.2 (b) Category III (i) T.O 2016, that is to say “Striking with arm”.
The player in question requested a Hearing which took place on 21ú Meitheamh. An Lár Choiste Éisteachta (Central Hearings Committee) found the Infraction proven and as this was a repeat Infraction, imposed a Two Match Suspension in the same Code and at the same Level applicable to the next games in the combination of the National League / Inter-County Senior Championship, even if one or both occur(s) in the following year.
