Dromid Pearses banned for three years

Dromid Pearses have received a three-year ban following the ugly scenes which marred their All-Ireland JFC semi-final loss to Derrytresk last month.

Pearses have been banned from all provincial and All-Ireland club championship ties, while Donal O'Sullivan will serve a three-month ban, Denis O'Sullivan received an eight-week suspension and Colm O'Connor incurred a four-week ban.

Tyrone club Derrytresk have been banned for five years for their part in the brawl and have appealed, while Pearses have yet to decide if they will do the same.

The players won't be appealing their suspensions.

Dromid Pearses chairman Mike Sheehan said: "I assume we will be appealing but we have no official recommendation yet."

"We have to schedule a club meeting. It does seem severe enough."

The club had their €2,000 fine halved at the Central Hearing Committee (CHC) in Dublin on Friday night.
