Diarmuid Connolly's 12-week ban upheld; has right to appeal to CAC
Diarmuid Connolly and Dublin must decide if they wish to take their case to the Central Appeals committee.
The forward’s 12-week ban for "minor physical interference with an official" has been upheld.
Connolly was seen to lay a hand on linesman Ciaran Brannigan during Dublin's Leinster quarter final win over Carlow. The Central hearings committee found the infraction was proven and will stand.
