DCU to appeal suspensions of top players

DUBLIN City University are set to appeal the 12 weeks suspensions imposed on three of their players by the Higher Educational Authority (Comhairle Ard Oideachais).

As a result of the suspensions Ross Munnelly (Laois) Diarmuid Kinsella (Wexford) and Shane Ryan (Dublin) have been ruled out of next year’s Sigerson Cup and the opening round of the 2006 National Football League with their respective counties.

All three players were handed three month bans for playing illegally with DCU in the recent Division One Senior Football League semi-final victory over SLigo IT.
