Dublin star facing three-match ban after CCCC biting probe

A top Dublin footballer has been hit with a proposed three-match ban for biting Donegal’s Patrick McBrearty — but last night vowed to appeal.

The GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) yesterday handed down the stiff sanction which, in theory, could end the player’s season.

The unnamed Dub was the subject of allegations by Donegal that he left a “laceration” on McBrearty’s shoulder, consistent with a bite, during last Sunday week’s Allianz League stalemate in Ballybofey.
