Cavan club hit with six-month ban

The Cavan Competitions Control Committee has suspended Ballinagh for six months following an assault on a local referee.

A host of supporters have also been banned as a result of the verbal and physical abuse suffered by referee Gerry Sheridan – a former Cavan player – during a league game against Kilgarry last Wednesday.

The decision, which leaves Ballinagh out of the Cavan SFC and league, is likely to be appealed.
