Wexford footballer Mattie Forde had his appeal against a 12-week ban turned down by the GAA’s Central Appeals Committee last night.
Forde was suspended for a stamp on Offaly’s Shane Sullivan during Wexford’s Leinster SFC semi-final loss to the Faithful County.
Although the incident was missed by the referee at the time the CDC (Central Disciplinary Committee) used video evidence in their investigation to suspend Forde.
Meanwhile, Forde is said to be contemplating an offer from Kilkenny City FC manager Adrian Fitzpatrick to join the eircom League soccer club.
